Highest and Lowest Gold Prices Today

An analysis of today’s market data reveals clear distinctions in value based on purity and weight:

Highest Price: As expected, 24K gold maintains the highest price per gram at 8,474 EGP (buy price), reflecting its status as the purest form of gold available on the market. The Gold Ounce, which represents a larger volume, carries the highest absolute price due to its weight.
Lowest Price: Among the standard carats listed, 12K gold represents the lowest price point at 4,237 EGP (buy price), offering a more accessible entry point for those looking to invest in gold jewelry with lower purity.
Price Differences: The price spread between 24K and 18K gold remains significant, illustrating the premium placed on purity. Investors often track the 21K gold price, as it serves as the benchmark for the Egyptian market, particularly for the popular Gold Coin (8g), which is widely used for savings.

Factors Affecting Gold Prices in Egypt

The price of gold in Egypt is rarely static. Several macroeconomic factors influence these daily numbers:

USD/EGP Exchange Rate: Because gold is priced in dollars globally, the strength of the US Dollar against the Egyptian Pound is the most direct influence on local prices. A weaker EGP typically leads to higher gold prices in local terms.
Global Gold Market Trends: Egypt is a price-taker in the global gold market. Movements on the London and New York exchanges directly impact the cost of imports into Egypt.
Central Bank Policies: Interest rate decisions and monetary policy adjustments by the Central Bank of Egypt significantly impact investor appetite for gold versus interest-bearing assets like certificates of deposit.
Inflation and Economic Conditions: During periods of high inflation, gold is historically viewed as a "safe haven" asset, leading to increased domestic demand which can drive prices upward.
International Demand and Supply: Global mining output and industrial demand for gold also play a role in setting the base price that eventually filters down to the Egyptian souks.
Geopolitical Tensions: Uncertainty in international politics often prompts investors to move capital into precious metals, driving up the global spot price, which is then reflected in the Egyptian market.

Gold Price Forecast

Looking ahead to the coming days, the gold market in Egypt is expected to remain volatile. Much of the movement will depend on global economic data releases and the stability of the local currency exchange rate. If international markets show signs of instability, we may see continued upward pressure on gold prices as investors seek security. Conversely, if local market liquidity improves, we might see a stabilization of prices.
