Dubai, UAE β Thursday Morning.
Gold prices plunged in dubai on thursday morning as global markets saw the precious metal dip below $3,225 per ounce, sparking a noticeable drop in local retail rates.
According to the dubai jewellery group, 24k gold opened the day at dh389 per gram, down dh9 from dh398 on wednesday. This sharp decline reflects broader movements in the international gold market, which has been impacted by stronger economic data and shifting investor sentiment.
Prices for other gold categories also saw a substantial decline:
The current price of 22k gold is Dh360.25 per gram.
21k is equivalent to dh345.25 per gram.
The value of 18k gold dropped to Dh296.00 per gram.
