[SINGAPORE] A physical bullion retailer has launched a savings programme, encroaching on a space previously occupied only by local bank UOB.

The Singapore Precious Metals Exchange (SGPMX) is now allowing investors to buy as little as a gramme of gold or 10 grammes of silver in a bid to reach out to more retail investors. As at yesterday, a gramme of gold cost about $60, and 10 grammes of silver, $10.

Investors who invest in gold typically have to fork out at least $100 to buy a 1/20-ounce coin.
