September 2020 gold market: Correction as the dollar bounces
BearishAn orderly post-record pullback on a dollar bounce.

September's orderly pullback offered re-entry for buyers who missed the summer surge, without signalling the bull market was over.
The 2020 gold market: COVID crash, recovery, and the all-time high above $2,000
March 2020 saw a brief gold sell-off during COVID liquidity panic (-12% in 2 weeks) before the metal rocketed to an all-time high of $2,075 in August. Year close: $1,898 — gold's best year since 2010.

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 Qatar gold market
Qatar's gold market trades primarily in Doha's Gold Souq Al Wakrah. 24K and 21K purities dominate. Qatar applies a 5% VAT on jewellery making charges; investment-grade bullion (≥99.5%) is exempt.

How Qatar 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 QAR/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2020 year-end snapshot.
Conversion. Every QAR figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × QAR/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all September 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 Qatar, add the country-specific levies described in the “Qatargold market” section above.
FAQ — Qatar gold price in September 2020
What was the gold price in Qatar in September 2020?
Historical QAR gold price archive for Qatar in September 2020.
What was the 24K gold rate per tola in Qatar in September 2020?
Tola-based gold rate for Qatar in September 2020 requires both XAU/USD and QAR/USD data which is unavailable for this period.
What was the 24K gold rate per gram in Qatar in September 2020?
Retail rate calculation requires international XAU/USD spot and QAR/USD FX, both of which are missing for this period.
How was the local currency price calculated?
QAR prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for September 2020 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2020-end QAR/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 ر.ق figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to QAR at the 2020-end exchange rate. Qatar'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.
