What happened to the gold price in 2019

Gold averaged $1,393 per troy ounce in 2019, up 9.8% from $1,269 the year before. Daily trading data shows gold moved between a low of $1,266 and a high of $1,557 during the year, ending 2019 at $1,517. The notable development of 2019: Fed reverses to rate cuts.

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 2019 average of $1,393 equals about $1,756 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.
