Gold prices in Dubai approach 30-day peak – will buyers continue purchasing for Eid?
Gold price boost in Dubai: A closer look at the latest upward trend
The Dubai gold scene is buzzing once again, with the per-gram price for 22K gold surging to a 30-day high of Dh378. As Eid Al Adha approaches, UAE shoppers are left pondering if these rates will climb even further, possibly surpassing the historic peak of Dh381.75 a gram, reached in late April 2025[1].
With the Dubai Gold Souq and jewelry outlets in full swing, markets remain abuzz with excitement. The current Saudi gold rate for 22K stands at SR386, while in India, a gram goes for Rs9,690.
Retailers are hopeful of attracting more foot traffic than usual during the upcoming days, anticipating a potential price drop below Dh370, which would be a welcome relief[1]. In the broader global bullion market, gold prices hover around $3,400 an ounce, with analyst predictions pointing towards continued upward momentum until the U.S. job data is released[2].
This newfound luster in gold prices is primarily attributed to a weak U.S. dollar. When the dollar loses strength, gold becomes more enticing to foreign buyers due to its dollar-denominated pricing, leading to technical buying that can stabilize or hike gold prices[3]. As the dollar continues to weaken, it could fuel increased demand for gold, potentially driving prices higher.
Given the fluctuating global gold prices, forecasts suggest a brief dip to around $3,110 by mid-June, followed by a recovery later in the year[4]. However, the range for 2025 gold prices extends from $2,916.51 to $4,351.84, with significant volatility predicted[5]. Monitoring economic indicators will be crucial for investors, as they navigate this dynamic market landscape.
