June 2021 gold market: Hawkish Fed 'dot plot' slams gold
BearishA hawkish Fed projection erased the spring rally in days.
Gold dropped sharply in June, from near $1,900 to about $1,770, after the Federal Reserve's updated projections signalled earlier rate hikes than markets expected. The hawkish surprise lifted the dollar and real yields, hitting gold hard.
June's drop is a clean case study in how much the Fed's posture — not just its actions — moves gold. The central bank did not raise rates; it merely revised its 'dot plot' of projected future hikes. That shift was enough to send the dollar and real yields up and gold down over 6% in a few sessions. For inflation hedgers, it was a frustrating message: even with inflation running hot, a credibly hawkish Fed could cap gold by promising to defend price stability.
What drove gold in June 2021

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

PEN prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for June 2021 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2021-end PEN/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 S/. figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to PEN at the 2021-end exchange rate. Peru'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.
