June 2022 gold market: Biggest Fed hike since 1994 weighs on gold

Bearish

Aggressive tightening and a strong dollar dragged gold down.

Gold drifted lower to around $1,820 in June as the Federal Reserve delivered a 0.75-point hike — its largest since 1994 — and the dollar strengthened. Rising real yields steadily eroded gold's appeal even as recession fears built.

What drove gold in June 2022

  • Fed +75bp (Jun 15)
  • surging US dollar
  • rising real yields
  • building recession fears

For gold buyers in United Kingdom

June underscored that aggressive rate hikes, not inflation alone, were driving gold — and the hikes were winning.

The 2022 gold market: Russia sanctions and a paradigm shift

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. G7/EU froze $300 billion of Russian central-bank reserves — the most consequential monetary event since 1971. Central-bank gold buying hit a record 1,082 tonnes (highest ever). Year close: $1,824 despite Fed's aggressive tightening.

Key drivers in 2022

Russia sanctions, central-bank reserve freezing, Fed hikes to 4.5%, gold's structural role redefined

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 United Kingdom gold market

The UK retail gold market quotes per gram, with 9K being the historically dominant jewellery standard alongside 18K and 22K.

How United Kingdom 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 GBP/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2022 year-end snapshot.

Conversion. Every GBP figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × GBP/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all June 2022 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 United Kingdom, add the country-specific levies described in the “United Kingdomgold market” section above.

How was the local currency price calculated?

GBP prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for June 2022 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2022-end GBP/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 £ figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to GBP at the 2022-end exchange rate. United Kingdom'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.
