Latest Gold Rates in the UAE

Gold prices in the UAE have risen by 0.7%, reflecting the current geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and speculations regarding upcoming US Federal Reserve rate cuts. This increase affects all major gold variants.

24K Gold Price Increase

The 24K variant of gold saw a rise of half a dirham, reaching Dh297.5 per gram. This increase is significant for investors and consumers who prefer the purity of 24K gold.

Global Spot Gold Trends

On the global market, spot gold is trading at $2,463.45 per ounce, marking a 0.7% increase. This rise is influenced by various economic factors, including geopolitical events and financial policies.

Predictions by Century Financial’s CIO

Vijay Valecha, the CIO of Century Financial, predicts a positive trajectory for gold prices. He suggests that gold could reach a target range of $2,700 to $3,000 per ounce in the coming months, which translates to Dh330 to Dh365 in the UAE market.

Insights from Pepperstone’s Head of Research

Chris Weston, the head of research at Pepperstone, indicates that weak US payroll reports and a potential rise in the unemployment rate could lead to a 50 basis point cut in US rates by September. This scenario could push gold prices to a new all-time high, nearing $2,500 per ounce.

Market Analysis by Samer Hasn

Market analyst Samer Hasn notes that the recent movements in gold prices come after a significant contraction in US manufacturing activity and an unexpected rise in initial jobless claims. These factors reinforce market expectations of multiple rate cuts this year.

The latest gold rates in the UAE have surged due to a combination of geopolitical tensions and economic predictions regarding US Federal Reserve policies. With experts forecasting further increases, gold remains a key investment amid uncertain times.
