So far, Antam has set two types of gold bullion prices: the gold price and the buyback price.

So, if you buy gold from Antam this morning, you have to pay IDR 1,004,000 per gram. If for some reason you suddenly need money so urgently that you are forced to sell the gold back in the afternoon or evening, don’t be surprised that your gold is only valued at Rp. 897,000 per gram by Logam Mulia.
Anyone needs to pay attention to the two types of gold prices if they are really serious about becoming a gold bullion investor. Without taking into account the difference between the two prices, a gold investor might miscalculate the potential profit and loss.
With such a thick difference between the selling price and the buying price (spread), gold is only suitable for long-term investment. In the long term, we hope that the price of gold will rise much higher so that it will be able to cover the difference between the selling price and the buyback price, as well as providing a profit.
Just for illustration, here is the calculation of the potential profit / loss if gold investors are bullied for several periods of time.
- Buying gold on October 31, 2020 (IDR 996,000 per gram) = -9.94% (loss)
- Buying gold on October 7, 2020 (IDR 999,000 per gram) = -10.21% (loss)
- Buying gold on August 7, 2020 (IDR 1,065,000 per gram) = -15.77% (loss)
- Buying gold on May 7, 2020 (IDR 913,000 per gram) = -1.75% (loss)
- Buying gold on February 7, 2020 (IDR 772,000 per gram) = 16.19% (profit)
- Buying gold on November 7, 2019 (IDR 750,000 per gram) = 19.60% (profit)
- Buying gold on August 7, 2019 (IDR 746,000 per gram) = 20.24% (profit)
- Buying gold on May 7, 2019 (IDR 665,000 per gram) = 34.89% (profit)
- Buying gold on February 7, 2019 (IDR 663,000 per gram) = 35.29% (profit)
The calculation above does not take into account the Value Added Tax (VAT) and a stamp duty fee of IDR 6,000.
