XAUUSD signals in North Korea
North Korea uses the same XAUUSD price as every other country: one troy ounce of gold in US dollars. In Pyongyang, the London morning auction is 19:30 local time and the busy overlap is 22:00–02:00.
Editorial update 25 October 2026. Clock rules for 3 November 2026.
Retail gold trading is not a practical local market. The clock still shows when London and New York gold is liquid.
Confirm the retail-gold rules with the national regulator in North Korea before you pay a signal seller. Accounts are often funded in North Korean won, while XAUUSD stays in dollars. The main language traders meet locally is Korean. This page is in English.
