Korea's exchange prices the same gold twice. The retail bar is not the dearer one.
KRX lists 99.99% gold in two sizes: a 1kg bar and a 100g mini. Over 49 sessions the mini closed higher by a median of 0.015 percent — and it closed lower on 22 of them. On five days the two moved in opposite directions.
Korean gold fell 31%. Trading in it went up, not down.
Korea Exchange gold peaked on 29 January and is down 30.9% since. Turnover in the small, retail-sized 100-gram contract is running 72.3% above 2025's daily average through the whole decline — the fall drew more small buyers in, not fewer.
