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.

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 Morocco gold market
Morocco 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 Morocco 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 MAD/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2021 year-end snapshot.
Conversion. Every MAD figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × MAD/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 Morocco, add the country-specific levies described in the “Moroccogold market” section above.

How was the local currency price calculated?
MAD 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 MAD/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 د.م figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to MAD at the 2021-end exchange rate. Morocco'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.
