How to read this historical table

Every price above is derived directly from the international XAU/USD spot rate on this date ($1,632/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 (October 19, 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 — October 19, 2022

Gold fell 1.29% from the prior trading session ($1,653.00 → $1,631.70 per ounce).

Wednesday — a normal trading day. FOMC announcements (when scheduled) typically come on Wednesdays at 2 PM ET, often producing intraday gold volatility.

October 2022 gold market: Gold scrapes multi-year lows

Bearish

Heavy trade near multi-year lows on dollar and yield pressure.

Gold traded heavily around $1,640 in October 2022, near its lowest levels in over two years, as a still-strong dollar, a fourth jumbo Fed hike on the horizon, and surging global yields kept pressure on. Resilient physical demand quietly cushioned the lows.

What drove gold in October 2022

  • dollar near 20-year highs
  • expectations of a fourth +75bp hike
  • surging global bond yields
  • supportive physical and central-bank demand
