Frequently asked questions about precious metals
How is the price of gold determined in Romania?
The National Bank of Romania (BNR) publishes the official gold (XAU) rate in RON per gram daily. This rate is based on the international gold price in USD per troy ounce (31.1035g) from the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), converted at the BNR USD/RON rate.
What is the difference between gold and silver as an investment?
Gold is considered a safe-haven asset, used to protect capital during inflation. Silver also has industrial uses (electronics, solar panels), making it more volatile. The Gold/Silver Ratio indicates how many ounces of silver one ounce of gold buys — historically, the average is around 60-70.
What are platinum and palladium and where are they used?
Platinum (XPT) and palladium (XPD) are metals from the platinum group. Both are used in automotive catalytic converters (emission reduction), jewelry, and the chemical industry. Palladium is essential for gasoline engine catalysts, while platinum is for diesel ones. Their price depends heavily on demand from the automotive industry.
How can I buy investment gold in Romania?
In Romania, investment gold (bars and coins with a minimum purity of 995/1000) is exempt from VAT according to the Tax Code. You can buy from authorized dealers (BNR, CEC Bank, State Mint, private dealers). Alternatively, you can invest in gold ETFs (e.g., SPDR Gold Shares) through brokers like XTB, eToro, or Interactive Brokers.
What factors influence the price of precious metals?
The main factors are: central bank interest rates (Fed, ECB), inflation, the US dollar exchange rate, geopolitical tensions, industrial and jewelry demand, and central bank purchases. In Romania, the price in RON also depends on the EUR/RON and USD/RON rates. When the dollar weakens, the gold price in USD tends to rise.
