September 2025 gold market: A weak dollar powers the rally on
BullishDollar weakness — gold's most reliable tailwind — drove it higher.
Gold remained strong in September as the US dollar weakened significantly through 2025 — one of the most reliable relationships in markets is that a falling dollar lifts gold. Reviving rate-cut expectations and continued investment demand reinforced the sustained bullish trend.
What drove gold in September 2025
- significant US dollar weakness
- Fed rate-cut expectations
- continued investment demand
- central-bank buying
Key events in September 2025
- Sep 17Fed signals/begins easing; dollar weakens, gold strengthens (verify date)
What happened next
Momentum and an actual rate cut carried gold to the historic $4,000 milestone in October.
For gold buyers in Saudi Arabia
September leaned on gold's most dependable driver: when the dollar falls, gold tends to rise — and in 2025 the dollar fell hard.
Key terms this month
- Dollar–gold inverse relationship:
- Gold is priced in US dollars, so a weaker dollar generally makes gold cheaper for other currencies and lifts its price — one of the strongest relationships in markets.
The 2025 gold market: Continued bull market and de-dollarization signals
2025 saw gold continue its bull market with prices reaching new highs above $3,000/oz. BRICS+ expansion (UAE, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia) accelerated. Central-bank buying remained at record levels. The era of structural gold appreciation continued through the year.
Key drivers in 2025
Continued central-bank buying, BRICS+ settlement infrastructure, USD reserve share declining, AI-era productivity boom

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 Saudi Arabia gold market
Saudi Arabia's gold market is concentrated in Jeddah and Riyadh, with 21-karat being the regional jewellery standard rather than 22K. Retail prices are quoted per gram. The Kingdom applies a 15% VAT on jewellery making charges (not on the gold metal value itself for investment-grade bars). Saudi gold demand is strongly seasonal, peaking around weddings, Ramadan and Hajj.

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

SAR prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for September 2025 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2025-end SAR/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 SAR at the 2025-end exchange rate. Saudi Arabia'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.
