How to read this historical table

Every price above is derived directly from the international XAU/USD spot rate on this date ($2,725/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 (January 16, 2025 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 — January 16, 2025

January 2025 gold market: Record run resumes on rate-cut hopes

Bullish

Rate-cut expectations and central-bank demand reignited the record run.

Gold opened 2025 strongly as markets positioned for future Fed rate cuts and a new US administration brought immediate policy and tariff uncertainty. Falling rate expectations pressure bond yields and the dollar while making non-yielding gold more attractive — and continued record central-bank buying reinforced the bid from day one.

What drove gold in January 2025

  • Fed rate-cut expectations
  • record central-bank buying
  • geopolitical and policy uncertainty
  • weaker-dollar positioning

For gold buyers
