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.

Era context — The modern bull market (2019 to today)
Gold's second major bull market of the 21st century. Driven by COVID stimulus, Russia sanctions, central-bank accumulation at record levels, and the structural shift toward a multi-polar reserve system. New all-time highs reached repeatedly since 2020.
The Turkey gold market
Turkey is one of the world's largest retail gold markets relative to GDP, driven by historical use of gold as an inflation hedge against persistent lira depreciation. Prices are quoted per gram in 22K (Cumhuriyet and Reşat coin standards) and 24K (gram bars). The Borsa İstanbul Gold Exchange runs the official daily fix.

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

What was the gold price in Turkey in May 2025?
Historical TRY gold price archive for Turkey in May 2025.
What was the 24K gold rate per tola in Turkey in May 2025?
Tola-based gold rate for Turkey in May 2025 requires both XAU/USD and TRY/USD data which is unavailable for this period.
What was the 22K gold rate per gram in Turkey in May 2025?

How was the local currency price calculated?
TRY prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for May 2025 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2025-end TRY/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 TRY at the 2025-end exchange rate. Turkey'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.
