How to read this historical table

Every price above is derived directly from the international XAU/USD spot rate on this date ($4,551/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 (December 26, 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.

December 2025 gold market: A record-shattering year ends near its highs

Bullish

Nearly every bullish driver aligned to close a historic year.

Gold closed 2025 near record highs after a historic year: roughly 53 all-time highs, record investment demand, a strong return of ETF inflows, continued central-bank buying, and — for the first time ever — total gold demand above 5,000 tonnes. By year-end an accommodative Fed, ongoing geopolitical risk, reserve diversification and heavy ETF inflows were all aligned.

2025 will be remembered as one of the strongest years in gold's modern history. The World Gold Council reported around 53 record highs and total demand exceeding 5,000 tonnes for the first time — a milestone driven by record investment demand, the return of Western ETF inflows, and a fifth straight year of central-bank buying above 1,000 tonnes. The year's defining lesson was breadth: where 2022–2024 leaned heavily on central banks, 2025 added ETFs, institutions and resilient Asian physical demand, making the advance unusually broad-based.
