Highest and Lowest Gold Prices Today

Analyzing the current data provided in the table reveals a clear hierarchy based on gold purity:

Highest Price: As expected, 24-carat gold, which represents pure gold (99.9% purity), holds the highest valuation in the market at 8000 EGP per gram for buying. The Gold Ounce, weighing approximately 31.1 grams, commands the highest absolute price due to its weight.
Lowest Price: Among the standard jewelry carats listed, 12-carat gold stands at the lowest price point at 4000 EGP per gram, making it a more accessible entry point for those with a smaller budget.
Price Gap: There is a significant margin between the 24-carat and 18-carat gold, reflecting the difference in gold content. Investors typically favor 21-carat and 24-carat gold for store-of-value purposes, while 18-carat is widely used in intricate jewelry designs.

Factors Affecting Gold Prices in Egypt

Gold prices in Egypt are not isolated; they are deeply influenced by a complex web of local and international factors:

USD/EGP Exchange Rate: Because gold is priced internationally in US Dollars, any fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Egyptian Pound and the Dollar directly impacts the local price of gold.
Global Market Trends: The London Bullion Market and COMEX trends set the baseline for the global price of gold. When global demand for gold increases, local prices in Egypt usually follow suit.
Central Bank Policies: Interest rate decisions and monetary policies set by the Central Bank of Egypt play a crucial role. Higher interest rates can sometimes dampen demand for gold, as investors may prefer fixed-income assets.
Inflation: Gold is historically viewed as a hedge against inflation. When the purchasing power of the local currency decreases, demand for gold typically rises as a way to preserve wealth.
Geopolitical Tensions: Regional and global instability often drive investors toward gold, which is considered a "safe haven" during times of conflict or uncertainty.

Gold Price Forecast

Looking ahead to the coming days, the market is expected to remain volatile. Much of the movement will depend on global inflation reports and the stability of the local currency. Investors are advised to keep a close watch on international gold spot prices, as any sharp movement in the global market will likely be reflected in the Egyptian market within 24 to 48 hours.
