The only thing I dislike about Maybank Gold Saving Account is that their buying price is way too low than the selling/COMEX price. RM5~RM6 difference which equals to about 3%~4% commission (@ RM150/g).

UOB gold account has the lowest spread, as far as I knew.

Because USD value sink.

USD 1600,
When RM:USD was 3.30 = RM 5280

Now RM:USD is 2.93 = RM 4688


In fact, if using AUD, you could see gold price stagnant or even drop, even though gold price surge from USD1500 to USD1600

No conclusion.

Just when seeing gold valuation, you need to work through the currency translation as well.

Keep on focusing on gold value surge from USD1500 to USD1600, but without looking at currency exchange rate, is not a good way to judge.
The real gain is how much gold gain in RM, not USD.
Unless your native currency is USD.
