Gold was fixed at $35 per ounce until 1971, when the US ended the dollar’s convertibility and set the price free. The inflationary 1970s drove it to about $850 by January 1980 — a level not seen again for nearly three decades — before a long bear market bottomed near $252 in 1999.
The 2000s bull run peaked at $1,920 in 2011, the pandemic pushed gold to $2,075 in 2020, and sustained central-bank buying carried it past $3,000 for the first time in 2025. The pattern across five decades: long, powerful cycles rather than steady drift — context worth keeping when reading the short-term windows above.
The table above summarises how the Gold price has moved over each window using open, high, and low values, with the percentage change from the start of the period to now. Short windows reflect recent volatility, while the 1-year and 5-year rows show the longer-term trend. Historical performance is descriptive, not predictive — it summarises the past rather than forecasting the future.
