May 2026: Gold Market Update
Gold prices have eased slightly after reaching record highs earlier this year. Short-term pullbacks are normal in strong markets and do not necessarily change gold’s long-term outlook.
Despite recent market movement, gold prices remain exceptionally strong compared to previous years, especially for South African holders of gold jewellery, Krugerrands, gold coins, gold medallions, diamonds jewellery and luxury items.
Many people are surprised by what their items may be worth in today’s market, with value determined by:
- Purity
- Weight
- Current gold price
- Market demand
- Overall appearance
- Market for pre loved gold jewellery
