Dubai gold prices climbed once more on Monday, signaling a global surge in the precious metal's value. The primary drivers behind the rise were a weaker US dollar and apprehensions over US fiscal policy, both prompting investors to turn to gold. Dubai's 24-carat gold reached Dh558.25 per gram, up Dh3.50 from Sunday's close, while 22-carat gold climbed to Dh516.75 per gram, a Dh3 increase from the prior day.
For shoppers, this translates to a 10-gram 24K gold piece costing around Dh5,582.50 in metal value alone, not including making charges, taxes, or retailer fees. The stronger buying interest is reflected in global markets, where spot gold reached $4,641.27 an ounce, marking its highest level since May 15 and a 0.8 percent gain after hitting its peak since May 15.
Analysts attribute the recent gains to the weaker dollar and investor assessments of the potential impact of higher bond yields on economic strain and policy uncertainties. The upcoming week will be crucial for gold prices, as investors await key US inflation data and Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's speech at the Jackson Hole symposium.
