According to the Korea Gold Exchange's price quotes on September 5, 2026, gold prices showed an overall decline.

Pure gold (3.75g) was priced at 851,000 won for purchase (change: -1.65%), down 14,000 won, while the selling price was 715,000 won (change: -1.68%), down 12,000 won. 18K gold fell 8,800 won to 525,600 won for selling (change: -1.67%), and 14K gold dropped 6,800 won to 407,600 won for selling (change: -1.67%).

Platinum showed a somewhat divergent trend from other items. Its purchase price rose 1,000 won to 347,000 won (change: 0.29%), while the selling price remained at the previous day's level of 278,000 won (change: 0%). Silver fell 180 won to 12,300 won for purchase (change: -1.46%) and dropped 140 won to 10,010 won for selling (change: -1.4%).

Going forward, market attention is focused on inflation indicators. Following the U.S. employment data released the previous day, the U.S. August Producer Price Index (PPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI), due out in the coming week, are drawing attention. The inflation trend could influence the U.S. Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy direction as well as movements in the dollar and Treasury yields, and is cited as a key variable that could increase gold price volatility. Markets are watching how the inflation data will affect interest rate expectations.
