How to read this historical table
Every price above is derived directly from the international XAU/USD spot rate on this date ($4,381/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 (October 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.

October 2025 gold market: Gold crosses $4,000 for the first time
BullishA historic first break above $4,000.
Gold crossed the historic $4,000-per-ounce milestone in October 2025, a landmark for the metal. The break was powered by markets increasingly pricing in Fed rate cuts, rising political and economic uncertainty, and accelerating Western ETF inflows on top of the ever-present central-bank bid.
Crossing $4,000 — from below $2,100 just two years earlier — capped one of the great bull runs in gold's history. What set 2025 apart from prior record years was breadth of demand: central banks, returning Western ETFs, Asian physical buyers, and momentum traders were all active simultaneously. By October the World Gold Council was on its way to reporting a record number of all-time highs (around 53 for the year) and total gold demand surpassing 5,000 tonnes for the first time ever.

For gold buyers
Reaching $4,000 — nearly doubling in two years — confirmed 2025 as a historic year, driven by the broadest demand base gold had seen in decades.
