Festival Demand and Market Recalibration
The "City of Gold" saw significant footfall over the weekend as both residents and tourists took advantage of traditional "rate-lock" schemes and festive discounts. Retailers noted that while jewellery volumes were slightly lower compared to previous years due to structurally higher prices, there was a marked increase in the purchase of 24K gold coins and small bars.

Global Factors Influencing Gold Rates
On the global front, gold is receiving support from ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and safe-haven demand. Although international spot prices saw a minor correction of 1.4 per cent in the last 24 hours, the local market in the UAE has remained resilient. Analysts suggest that the current consolidation is a "breather" for the market. Factors such as central bank actions and the relative strength of the Dirham (pegged to the USD) continue to play a decisive role in local pricing. For Indian expats, the current rates remain attractive when coupled with recent favourable remittance exchange rates.
