Gold prices continue to fall in Romania, marking weekly low

The price of gold in Romania continued its downward trajectory for the third consecutive day on Thursday, August 27, 2026, marking the most significant decrease of the week. The National Bank of Romania (BNR) published its latest currency and precious metal rates, indicating a further drop in gold's value.

As of Thursday, one gram of gold was quoted at 665.4259 lei, a reduction of 4.59 lei compared to Wednesday's price. This marks the third consecutive day of decline after a notable surge at the start of the week. Earlier in the week, gold prices had risen substantially, with a gain of 10.534 lei per gram on Monday.

However, the trend reversed sharply. Tuesday saw a decrease of 0.4993 lei, followed by a 1.7213 lei drop on Wednesday. Thursday's steeper fall of 4.59 lei means that over the past three trading sessions, the price of gold has decreased by more than 6.8 lei per gram.

The BNR's quoted price reflects one gram of fine gold in lei and is updated on days when the central bank releases new rates. This quotation is influenced by international gold market fluctuations and changes in the foreign exchange rate. While the BNR quote serves as an indicator of the precious metal's value in the national currency, it is important to note that the actual buying and selling prices for individuals may differ based on the dealer, the form of gold traded, and specific transaction conditions.
