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.

How Mozambique 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 MZN/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2024 year-end snapshot.
Conversion. Every MZN figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × MZN/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all September 2024 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 Mozambique, add the country-specific levies described in the “Mozambiquegold market” section above.

How was the local currency price calculated?
MZN prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for September 2024 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2024-end MZN/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 MT figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to MZN at the 2024-end exchange rate. Mozambique'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.
How did the September 2024 Fed cut affect gold?
The Fed's larger-than-usual 0.50-point rate cut on September 18, 2024 lowered the opportunity cost of holding gold and weakened the dollar, helping push prices above $2,600 per ounce.
