Gold price in August 2011: detailed overview
This archive records the international XAU/USD spot price for every trading day of August 2011, sourced from gold-api.com's continuous historical series. Each row shows the XAU/USD spot price alongside per-gram and per-tola conversions — useful for researching historical transaction or estate values from August 2011.
How to read the August 2011 archive
Open vs Close vs High vs Low. Open is the close on the first trading day of August 2011; Close is the final session of the month. High and Low are the absolute extremes from any trading day in the month — they often happen mid-month, not at the bookends. The green or red badge near the top of the page tells you immediately whether Close beat Open.
Average price. The Avg/oz figure is a simple arithmetic mean of every daily close in August 2011. Insurers, accountants and tax authorities sometimes use a monthly average rather than a spot price for valuation work. Use the average-rate calculator if you need a custom averaging window.
Per-gram and per-tola conversions. Every USD/oz figure is paired with per-gram and per-tola equivalents. We use 31.1035 g per troy ounce and 11.664 g per tola — the international and South Asian retail standards. These are pure metal values and exclude local taxes, dealer premiums and making charges.
Daily list and date drill-downs. Each row in the list above opens a full date page showing the same price across PKR, INR, AED, SAR, GBP, EUR and 100+ other currencies, with 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K purity breakdowns.
Rolling vs calendar-month numbers. The Price-action panel shows rolling-window stats anchored at the month-end close — 1-day, 7-day, 30-day and YTD. These differ from the calendar-month MoM badge: the badge compares Open to Close within August 2011, while rolling stats look back from the last trading day regardless of month boundaries.
How researchers and investors use this archive

Methodology & data sources
Source. Daily XAU/USD spot prices come from gold-api.com's historical archive. Each data point is the international gold spot price quoted in US dollars per troy ounce at the London PM benchmark window. We never adjust the published number — what you see is the source figure.
Aggregation. Monthly statistics (open, close, high, low, average, percentage change) are computed deterministically from the —-point daily series for August 2011. Missing days (weekends, market holidays) are simply skipped — never estimated or interpolated — which is why some weeks contain fewer than five entries. See the 2011 annual archive for all months together.
Per-unit conversions. Every non-ounce price on the page is derived from the per-ounce figure using fixed weight constants: price/g = price/oz ÷ 31.1035 and price/tola = price/g × 11.664. We never compound rounding errors through intermediate units. The full Gold Guide explains all weight standards used globally.
Rolling-window stats. The 1-day, 7-day and 30-day moves in the Price-action panel are anchored at the August 2011closing trading day and look back through the year's full daily series — they don't restart at the month boundary. We use ~5 trading days for a calendar week and ~21 for a calendar month, the standard market convention.
Local-currency conversions. Country-by-country prices on the per-day pages are computed from the same XAU/USD figure, multiplied by the daily exchange rate from exchangerate-api. FX data extends back to 1 January 1990, which is why the site offers 1990-onwards monthly archives alongside USD-only archives for 1970–1989.
