New Delhi, January 22: Gold Prices in Dubai surged to fresh record highs on Thursday as heightened geopolitical tensions and global economic uncertainty fuelled strong safe-haven demand. The Dubai Gold Rate for 24-carat yellow metal opened sharply higher at AED 580.50 per gram, marking one of the steepest overnight gains seen this year. The rally in local prices closely tracked international bullion markets, where spot gold climbed past the USD 4,700 per ounce level. Check out the 18K, 21K, 22K and 24K Dubai gold rate today, January 22, in AED, USD and INR here.
