How to read this historical table

Every price above is derived directly from the international XAU/USD spot rate on this date ($1,802/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 (January 9, 2022 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 — January 9, 2022

Gold rose 0.55% from the prior trading session ($1,792.60 → $1,802.37 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.

January 2022 gold market: Hawkish Fed pivot caps the year's open

Range-bound

Hot inflation supported gold; a hawkish Fed capped it.

Gold started 2022 around $1,800 but struggled as the Federal Reserve signalled an aggressive tightening campaign to fight four-decade-high inflation. Rising rate expectations and a firm dollar kept a lid on prices even as real-world inflation ran hot.

What drove gold in January 2022

  • Fed signalling aggressive rate hikes
  • 40-year-high US inflation
  • rising real-yield expectations
  • firm US dollar

For gold buyers

January set 2022's central tension: surging inflation supported gold, but the Fed's response to it worked against the price.
