Gold and Currency Prices in Ankara; June 25, 2026

In today's transactions, June 25, 2026, financial markets in the Turkish capital faced a wave of price changes. Field reports from the Ankara market indicate that gold prices, after months of relative stability, have come under pressure from global markets and begun a downward trend [1].

Gold Price Status in the Ankara Market According to data published by the media outlet "Ankara Masası", the price of one gram of 24-karat gold in the Ankara free market has reached a range of 5,954 to 6,136 Lira [1][2]. This price decrease occurs while demand for gold during Turkey's wedding season remains high, but the pressure from the decline in the global ounce price has overcome domestic factors.

Details of various coin prices in today's market are as follows:
- Quarter Gold: The selling price of this popular coin has stabilized at approximately 10,051 Lira [1].
- Half Gold: Trading at an approximate price of 19,966 Lira.
- Republic Gold: This type of coin, used for long-term investment, has touched the 40,000 Lira threshold [2].

Impact of Global Policies on Exchange Rates and Gold The main reason for the drop in gold prices in Turkey's domestic markets is the crash of the global ounce price below the psychological barrier of $4,000. Analysts believe that the introduction of Kevin Warsh as a candidate for the US Federal Reserve chairmanship and the possibility of interest rate hikes to combat persistent inflation have caused an unprecedented strengthening of the dollar [3]. This has led investors to move away from non-interest-bearing assets like gold toward dollar-denominated bonds.

In the Ankara currency market, the Dollar and Euro continue to trade at high levels due to Turkey's domestic inflation, despite the fall in global gold prices. Exchange rates in the Kızılay and Ulus regions have seen positive fluctuations, maintaining pressure on the Turkish Lira [1].

Turkey's Financial Market Outlook in the Second Half of 2026 Based on economic data, fluctuations in Ankara's gold and currency markets are expected to continue until the end of June. Economic experts in Turkey warn that future decisions by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey, in coordination with global markets, will determine the Lira's next path [3]. For Ankara citizens seeking to preserve the value of their assets, tracking real-time prices from reliable local sources has become more important than ever [1][2].
