How many grams in an ounce of gold?

How is the price of gold per gram determined?

Why are the retail prices of gold higher than the current spot price per gram?
The retail price of gold is higher than the spot price due to additional costs such as dealer premiums, fabrication, packaging, distribution, market demand, and taxes.
Gold dealers charge a premium over the spot price to cover their operational expenses and profit margins. Smaller denominations, such as gold bars by the gram, carry higher premiums compared to larger bars because the manufacturing and handling costs are relatively higher for smaller pieces.
Also, retail premiums increase during periods when demand for physical gold is strong, such as times of economic uncertainty, financial crises, and geopolitical instability.
While the spot price reflects the market price of gold for large-scale transactions, retail buyers purchasing smaller amounts typically pay more due to these added factors.
