As mentioned before, Maybank and CIMB are using percentage to calculate the spread. So it's obvious that the gap between selling and buying will be higher as the price increases. It's the same as goldsmiths. They use 6-8% spread for bullion, 20-25% for jewelries.

Is it? I was actually planning to go open an account with CIMB cause the spread for Maybank is much higher and there arent any UOB branch in my town. sad.gif

Hmmm... I guess this would be a good time to buy. I was wondering, how much did the value of gold appreciate last year compare to the year before? Is it more than 10%?

Banks pricing is always including margins ,etc. Gold hasnt dropped below 1,700 yet. Its now at US$1,729

If the value didnt go any lower than 1700, then UOB must have sold me the gold at a loss. biggrin.gif
