How to read this historical table
Every price above is derived directly from the international XAU/USD spot rate on this date ($3,348/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 (May 9, 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.

May 2025 gold market: A healthy correction after the surge
Range-boundProfit-taking from overbought levels, with structural demand intact.
Gold pulled back from its April record in May — no market rises in a straight line. After the vertical run, traders locked in profits and short-term speculators exited overbought conditions, while a cooling of trade tensions revived some risk appetite. Crucially, the structural pillars — central-bank buying and strong investment demand — stayed firmly in place, keeping the dip shallow.
What drove gold in May 2025
- profit-taking after the April record

Key events in May 2025

What happened next

For gold buyers
May was a textbook healthy correction — the kind of pause that refreshes a bull market rather than ending it.
