How to read this historical table

Every price above is derived directly from the international XAU/USD spot rate on this date ($1,785/oz) using fixed weight constants — 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 g, 1 tola = 11.664 g, 1 baht = 15.244 g, 1 lượng = 37.5 g, 1 mesghal = 4.6083 g, and so on. These multipliers are mathematical, not market estimates, so the conversions are exact.

Prices are shown in US dollars only. Historical local-currency gold rates depended on the exchange rate at the time (August 1, 2021 rates for PKR, INR, AED and others were materially different from today). For an accurate same-date local-currency value, see the country-specific archive link below this section when available.

The figures are pure metal value at international parity — they do not include the import duty, VAT/GST, jeweller making charges, or dealer margin that would have applied at retail counters on this date. For wedding-jewellery or coin pricing context, retail in 22K commonly added 5–15% on top of the spot value shown here.

On this day — August 1, 2021

Gold fell 2.22% from the prior trading session ($1,825.80 → $1,785.28 per ounce).

Sunday — the international gold market is closed. Spot quotes carry forward from the prior Friday close. Retail rates in jewellery markets may differ slightly based on local Sunday hours.

August 2021 gold market: A violent 'flash crash' low

Volatile

A thin-liquidity air-pocket spike low that quickly reversed.

Gold suffered a sudden flash crash in early August, briefly plunging toward $1,680 in thin, illiquid Asian trading before snapping back. The spike low marked the year's bottom and washed out weak hands before a steadier autumn.

What drove gold in August 2021
