Media Kampung – 22 Maret 2026 | Antam announced a new buyback price for 24 karat gold on Sunday, 22 March 2026, marking a drop of Rp55 000 per gram compared with the previous rate.
The reduction brings the buyback price to Rp845 000 per gram, a level not seen since early February.
The decline follows a broader pullback in gold prices observed on the global market, where spot gold fell below US$1 900 per ounce on Friday, 20 March 2026.
Local traders attribute the movement to a strengthening rupiah and lower inflation expectations.
Data released by Pegadaian shows the new buyback rate applies to all Antam gold bars and coins held by customers.
The institution also disclosed the applicable tax, which amounts to 0.1 % of the transaction value, in line with the latest fiscal regulations.
Analysts at PT Danareksa noted that the Rp55 000 dip reflects a correction after a three‑week rally that pushed prices above Rp900 000 per gram.
“The market is adjusting to the recent easing of US monetary policy, which reduces safe‑haven demand for gold,” said market analyst Rudi Hartono.
Despite the lower buyback price, Antam’s own gold products remain priced competitively, with a retail price of roughly Rp900 000 per gram on the same day.
This creates a spread of about Rp55 000 between the sell‑back and retail rates, which is typical for the Indonesian market.
The price information for Friday, 20 March 2026, shows spot gold at US$1 894 per ounce, translating to an estimated local price of Rp885 000 per gram before tax.
After applying the 0.1 % tax, the effective price that consumers would receive from a buyback transaction is around Rp884 115 per gram.
The Indonesian Ministry of Finance confirmed that the tax rate for gold buyback has remained unchanged since the start of the year.
This stability aims to keep the market transparent and to avoid sudden cost spikes for small investors.
Gold’s performance this week has been influenced by a combination of factors, including a modest rise in the US dollar index and a slight dip in oil prices.
Such macro‑economic shifts often ripple through emerging‑market currencies, affecting the local gold valuation.
Retail investors who hold Antam gold as a savings instrument are advised to monitor daily price updates posted by Pegadaian and authorized dealers.
“Timing the sell‑back can improve returns, but the price volatility remains modest,” added Rudi Hartono.
The current buyback level also aligns with Antam’s quarterly earnings outlook, which projects stable revenue from gold sales despite price fluctuations.
The company expects its cash flow to stay robust, supported by ongoing domestic demand for gold jewelry and investment bars.
In summary, the new buyback price of Rp845 000 per gram reflects a market correction and a tax‑adjusted net of roughly Rp844 000 per gram.
Investors should consider both the spread and the broader economic context when deciding to liquidate their gold holdings.
