August 2023 gold market: Surging yields pressure gold
BearishA sharp rise in long-term yields weighed on gold.
Gold slipped toward $1,890–$1,915 in August as US Treasury yields climbed sharply — the 10-year pushed above 4.3% — on resilient growth and heavy government bond issuance. Higher yields steadily eroded gold's appeal.

Era context — The modern bull market (2019 to today)

The Denmark gold market
Denmark retail gold prices are quoted in the local currency per gram for 24K and 22K purities, and per troy ounce for investment-grade bullion. Local rates usually sit above the international XAU/USD spot price after import duties, sales taxes, and jewellery making charges are applied. Use this archive as the international reference price; final retail rates depend on your dealer and the date's exchange rate.

How Denmark 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 DKK/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2023 year-end snapshot.
Conversion. Every DKK figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × DKK/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all August 2023 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 Denmark, add the country-specific levies described in the “Denmarkgold market” section above.

How was the local currency price calculated?
DKK prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for August 2023 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2023-end DKK/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 kr figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to DKK at the 2023-end exchange rate. Denmark'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.
