How to read this historical table
Every price above is derived directly from the international XAU/USD spot rate on this date ($2,626/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 21, 2024 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.

September 2024 gold market: Fed's jumbo cut supercharges gold
BullishAn outsized Fed cut sent gold sprinting past $2,600.
The Federal Reserve began its easing cycle with an outsized 0.50-point cut on September 18, and gold surged past $2,600. Lower rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold, and the market wasted no time pricing in more cuts to come.
The September cut mattered less for its size than for what it confirmed: the rate-cut thesis that had powered gold all year was now real, not just anticipated. Falling policy rates lower the 'opportunity cost' of holding gold — the yield an investor gives up by owning metal instead of bonds. With the Fed now easing into a still-resilient economy, gold's two biggest tailwinds, falling real yields and a softer dollar, were reinforcing each other.
What drove gold in September 2024

Key events in September 2024

For gold buyers
September's jumbo cut validated the rate-cut thesis that had driven gold all year — the easing cycle had finally begun.
Key terms this month
- Opportunity cost:
- The return given up by choosing one asset over another. Lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold.
