February 2021 gold market: Surging bond yields hit gold
BearishA bond-market tantrum drove real yields and gold's opportunity cost higher.
Gold fell to around $1,730 in February as a sharp 'bond tantrum' pushed US 10-year Treasury yields up toward 1.5%. Rising real yields raised the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold even as the economic outlook brightened.
What drove gold in February 2021
- 10-year yield surging toward 1.5%
- reflation and stimulus expectations
- rising real yields
- ETF outflows
Key events in February 2021
- Feb 25Bond selloff accelerates; gold drops with bullion ETFs
What happened next
The yield spike peaked in March, after which gold found a floor.
For gold buyers in Colombia
February showed gold's sensitivity to real yields — a brighter economy plus rising rates is the metal's least favourable backdrop.
The 2021 gold market: Consolidation below 2020 highs
Gold traded mostly sideways in 2021 between $1,680 and $1,950 as the Fed signaled coming tightening. Cryptocurrency mania peaked in November. Inflation began running above target. Year close: $1,829.

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 Colombia gold market
Colombia retail gold prices are quoted in the local currency per gram for 24K and 22K purities, and per troy ounce for investment-grade bullion. Local rates usually sit above the international XAU/USD spot price after import duties, sales taxes, and jewellery making charges are applied. Use this archive as the international reference price; final retail rates depend on your dealer and the date's exchange rate.

How Colombia 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 COP/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2021 year-end snapshot.
Conversion. Every COP figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × COP/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all February 2021 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 Colombia, add the country-specific levies described in the “Colombiagold market” section above.

How was the local currency price calculated?
COP prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for February 2021 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2021-end COP/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 $ figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to COP at the 2021-end exchange rate. Colombia'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.
