What happened to the gold price in 1995
Gold averaged $384 per troy ounce in 1995, essentially unchanged from $384 in 1994. Daily trading data shows gold moved between a low of $372 and a high of $402 during the year, ending 1995 at $388.
The 1990s extended gold's long bear market. Low inflation, a roaring stock market, and steady central bank selling kept the metal drifting lower for most of the decade, and by 1999 gold had bottomed near $255 per ounce.
Adjusted for inflation, gold's 1995 average of $384 equals about $812 in today's dollars. The conversion uses US Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI-U annual averages, so treat it as a close approximation rather than an exact figure.
