What happened to the gold price in 2014
Gold averaged $1,266 per troy ounce in 2014, down 10.3% from $1,411 the year before. Daily trading data shows gold moved between a low of $1,131 and a high of $1,392 during the year, ending 2014 at $1,183.
The 2010s split into two very different halves. Quantitative easing and the European debt crisis drove gold to $1,921 in September 2011, then a multi-year correction set in as the Fed tapered and raised rates, before rate cuts and trade tensions revived the metal late in the decade.
Adjusted for inflation, gold's 2014 average of $1,266 equals about $1,724 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.
