Gold Price by Country (21K per gram)
Why Does Gold Price Change?
Gold prices are primarily driven by the strength of the US dollar — when the dollar weakens, gold typically rises as investors seek a store of value. Central bank policies, especially Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, heavily influence gold: lower rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold, pushing prices higher. Geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty drive safe-haven demand, as seen during conflicts and financial crises. Inflation expectations also play a key role — gold is widely viewed as an inflation hedge. Physical demand from jewelry markets, particularly in India, China, and the Middle East, creates seasonal patterns. Central bank gold purchases, especially from emerging economies diversifying away from US dollar reserves, have been a major price driver since 2022. Supply constraints from mining operations and recycling volumes affect long-term pricing trends.
