April 2025 gold market: Gold explodes to records as tariffs hit
BullishA historic surge to records as tariffs met returning ETF demand.
April was one of the year's pivotal months. Sweeping new US 'reciprocal' tariffs at the start of the month roiled global markets and sent gold to repeated record highs — toward roughly $3,500 — on three reinforcing forces: relentless central-bank buying, the strong return of ETF investors, and a spike in geopolitical and trade risk.
The April rally is best understood as three engines firing together. First, central banks — buying above 1,000 tonnes a year — kept diversifying reserves away from the dollar. Second, Western ETF investors, absent for years, moved money back into gold in size. Third, the tariff shock and assorted international conflicts drove acute safe-haven demand. With structural, price-insensitive buyers and tactical traders all pulling the same direction, gold entered a near-vertical, historic rally.

The Russia gold market
Russia 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 Russia 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 RUB/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2025 year-end snapshot.
Conversion. Every RUB figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × RUB/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all April 2025 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 Russia, add the country-specific levies described in the “Russiagold market” section above.

How was the local currency price calculated?
RUB prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for April 2025 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2025-end RUB/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 ₽ figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to RUB at the 2025-end exchange rate. Russia'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.
