How to read this historical table

Every price above is derived directly from the international XAU/USD spot rate on this date ($1,748/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 (September 16, 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 — September 16, 2021

Gold fell 2.73% from the prior trading session ($1,797.00 → $1,748.00 per ounce).

Thursday — a normal trading day. Weekly US initial jobless claims publish at 8:30 AM ET on Thursdays, occasionally producing intraday gold movement.
