Current Market Overview

Dubai, often referred to as the "City of Gold," continues to offer competitive pricing compared to other major global hubs. While prices have seen a slight upward trend over the last 14 days, the market today opened with no significant change from the previous day's close. Local retailers noted that despite the high prices, tourist demand remains robust, particularly among buyers from the Indian subcontinent who benefit from the price gap between Dubai and domestic Indian rates.

Global Trends and Local Impact

Market analysts attribute the current price levels to a balancing act in the global market. Traders are closely monitoring inflation data and central bank signals from the United States, which traditionally dictate the movement of the US Dollar and, by extension, gold.
