Dubai gold rates rise as India turns cheaper for buyers, with Saudi prices flat amid a calm global backdrop. The rise in Dubai remains marginal but sustained, signaling continued demand ahead of wedding season and local festivals. In contrast, India sees a notable price drop due to profit-booking and currency movements, presenting a short-term buying opportunity for Indian consumers. Global spot prices eased slightly as investors book profits after recent highs, reflecting a cautious mood in the market.
Dubai: Dubai gold rates rise edged up this morning, continuing a gentle upward trend, with 24-carat gold at Dh577.75 per gram (up from Dh577.00 yesterday) and 22-carat at Dh535.00 (from Dh534.25). The modest increase keeps Dubai prices near record highs as buyers prepare for peak season demand. Saudi Arabia: Prices in Saudi Arabia remained unchanged, with 24-carat gold at SAR598.00 per gram and 22-carat at SAR550.00, signaling price stability for shoppers in the kingdom. India: Indian gold buyers saw a price decline, with 24-carat gold at ₹15,431 per gram (₹154,310 per 10 grams) and 22-carat at ₹14,145 per gram (₹141,450 per 10 grams), driven by profit-booking and currency movements rather than a drop in long-term demand. This offers a potential short-term window for local buyers. Global picture: International spot gold hovered lower, trading around $4,801.47 per ounce, down about 0.68%, as markets paused after recent gains. A calmer mood was reinforced by easing geopolitical tensions and a firmer US dollar, with Davos commentary shaping expectations.
