UAE Gold Prices Jump Dh5, but Buyers Still Save Dh150 on 10 Grams
By Thasmiya
Gold prices in the UAE moved higher on Tuesday, with 24K gold rising by **Dh5 per gram**. Despite the increase, shoppers are still paying significantly less than they would have during the month’s peak, making it a relatively attractive time for buyers.
## **Latest UAE Gold Rates**
As of Tuesday morning:
- **24K:** **Dh488.00** per gram (up from Dh483.00) - **22K:** **Dh452.00** per gram (up from Dh447.25)
## **Buyers Still Saving**
Although prices have rebounded from last week’s lows, they’re still below the highest levels seen earlier in July.
- 24K gold peaked at **Dh503 per gram** on **July 4 and 5**. - At today’s price of **Dh488**, buyers are paying **Dh15 less per gram** than the monthly high. - That translates to a **Dh150 saving on a 10-gram purchase**, even after today’s Dh5 increase.
## **Why Are Gold Prices Rising?**
International gold prices climbed back above **$4,000 per ounce** as investors returned to bullion following recent declines.
The market continues to react to:
- Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. - Concerns that higher energy prices could keep inflation elevated. - Expectations that the US Federal Reserve may maintain higher interest rates for longer. Higher borrowing costs typically reduce the appeal of non-yielding assets like gold, although uncertainty continues to support demand.
## **Should You Buy Now?**
While today’s increase means buyers will pay **Dh50 more for every 10 grams** compared to Monday, prices remain well below July’s peak.
For those planning to purchase gold jewellery or invest in bullion, current rates are still more favourable than they were earlier this month, though future price movements will depend on global economic data, interest rate expectations and geopolitical developments.
## **Why This Matters**
Gold prices can change daily, but even after Tuesday’s jump, UAE buyers continue to benefit from lower prices than those seen at the beginning of July. Anyone planning a purchase may still find value compared with the month’s highest rates.
