July 2020 gold market: Gold smashes through $1,900 toward records

Bullish

A momentum surge to the doorstep of all-time highs.

July was explosive. Gold broke above $1,800 early and accelerated to challenge its 2011 record near $1,920 by month-end, driven by a sliding dollar, deeply negative real yields, and rising US–China tensions. It was gold's strongest month of an extraordinary year.

What drove gold in July 2020

  • US dollar sliding to two-year lows
  • real yields deeply negative
  • US–China tensions escalating
  • momentum and ETF buying

Era context — The modern bull market (2019 to today)

Gold's second major bull market of the 21st century. Driven by COVID stimulus, Russia sanctions, central-bank accumulation at record levels, and the structural shift toward a multi-polar reserve system. New all-time highs reached repeatedly since 2020.

The Pakistan gold market

Pakistan's retail gold trade is dominated by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gemmi & Jewellery Association (APSGJA). The standard quoted unit is the tola (11.664 g) and 24-karat purity. Local prices typically sit a few percent above international spot due to import duties, sales tax (currently 17%), and dealer making charges (3–8%). The State Bank of Pakistan periodically auctions gold reserves which can cause short-term price action divergent from international spot.

How Pakistan gold prices are calculated on this page

Source. The international XAU/USD spot price comes from gold-api.com's historical archive (London PM-fix benchmark). The PKR/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2020 year-end snapshot.

Conversion. Every PKR figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × PKR/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all July 2020 prices on this page.

Per-unit math. Per-gram = per-ounce ÷ 31.1035. Per-tola = per-gram × 11.664. Per-10g = per-gram × 10. Per-kilo = per-gram × 1000. Karat values multiply per-gram by the purity ratio (24K = 0.999, 22K = 0.916, 21K = 0.875, 18K = 0.750, 14K = 0.585, 10K = 0.417).

What this page does NOT include. Local sales tax / VAT, customs duty on imports, dealer making charges, jewellery design premiums, or coin numismatic premiums. To go from this pure-metal value to a final retail rate in Pakistan, add the country-specific levies described in the “Pakistangold market” section above.

How was the local currency price calculated?

PKR prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for July 2020 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2020-end PKR/USD exchange rate from exchangerate-api.com. We use year-end rates as a single reference point for the entire month — for most stable currencies the within-year FX drift is small, but during currency crises (PKR 2022–23, TRY 2022, ARS 2024 etc.) the actual mid-month rate may differ.

Why does the retail price in shops differ from this number?

The Rs figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to PKR at the 2020-end exchange rate. Pakistan's retail jewellers add (1) import duties and sales tax (varies by SKU and karat), (2) dealer making charges (typically 3–12% of metal value), and (3) a small premium for purity certification on bars. Always verify the exact day's retail rate with a reputable local dealer before transacting.
