Market Momentum and Global Cues
The surge in Dubai's gold rates follows a rally in international spot gold, which recently tested the USD 2,800 per ounce psychological resistance level. Analysts point to a softening US labour market and cooling inflation data as primary drivers, leading to increased speculation that central banks may ease interest rates sooner than expected.
In Dubai, the price adjustment was immediate. The 24K rate saw a gain of AED 12.50 per gram compared to Sunday’s close. This volatility has led some institutional investors to pause, though retail jewellery buyers continue to take advantage of Dubai's transparent pricing structure.

The 'City of Gold' Advantage
Despite the rising costs, Dubai maintains its status as a preferred destination for gold bullion and jewellery. The primary appeal lies in the absence of import duties and the tax-free status for tourists, who are eligible for VAT refunds at the airport. Furthermore, the price gap between Dubai and major markets like India remains substantial. Today’s 24K rate in Dubai is approximately 8-10 per cent lower than the domestic price in Mumbai or Delhi when factoring in India’s import duties and GST, making it a lucrative hub for expatriate shoppers.
Outlook for the Week
Market experts advise caution as the week progresses, noting that prices could stabilise if the US Dollar strengthens. However, with the current technical setup on the GoodReturns index showing a "rising" performance, the short-term outlook for the yellow metal remains positive in the UAE.
