Dubai gold rates (gold prices) dipped today, March 17, with 24K gold at AED 602.50/g. Driven by a strong US Dollar, 22K fell to AED 557.75/g, while 18K reached AED 458.50/g. Despite the slump, safe-haven demand remains high due to Middle East tensions and a "wait-and-watch" approach ahead of US Federal Reserve meetings.
