Dubai gold price is on fire again; gram of 24K clears Dh400 for first time
Nothing like this has ever been seen before, with the price of a gram of 24K clearing Dh400 for the first time. A level that market sources at the start of the year said would take at least until September/October to happen.
UAE gold rates
These days, gold is creating and resetting records by setting its own rules. The numbers tell the story – 'The price difference between the lowest Dubai gold price in the year to date and today's price is a near Dh150 a gram,' said Abdul Salam K.P., Vice-Chairman of Malabar Gold & Diamonds.
This year's lowest local rate was the Dh223.25 a gram for 22K on February 14.
In Saudi Arabia, the 22K and 24K gram prices are SR378 and SR409, respectively.
Bullion prices
In the global commodities market, bullion continues on its merry way, at one point earlier today shooting past $3,350 an ounce mark. Right now, it's at $3,337 - but the key point here is that it's still a good $115 up from 24 hours ago.
"Yesterday, when the gold stores were opening, we were wondering whether gold would be closing the day at $3,280," said a jeweller. "Who would have thought we could well be looking at reaching $3,380 within the next few days. Even today!"
No clarity until tariff issue goes away?
Global central banks and institutional investors keep buying gold amidst all the uncertainty in markets over US reciprocal tariffs - whether there will be a solution after the 90-day pass offered by President Trump to all nations except China.
These days, bullion traders in Dubai are not even bothering to give price forecasts or when it could stabilize. Because it could change within an hour.

Coca-Cola plans US cane sugar alternative after Trump push
Coca-Cola on Tuesday said it would release a version of Coke in the United States made with US-grown real cane sugar, a move requested by President Donald Trump. "We're going to be bringing a Coke sweetened with US cane sugar into the market this fall, and I think that will be an enduring option for consumers," said CEO James Quincey on a call with analysts. The company currently uses high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) for many of its US products — a sweetener that has long drawn criticism from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his "Make America Healthy Again" agenda. Trump last week said that the company had agreed to use cane sugar in the United States version of Coke. "This will be a very good move by them — You'll see. It's just better!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. Coca-Cola at the time did not confirm the move even if it said it appreciated Trump's "enthusiasm" for its brand. In announcing the new option, Quincey insisted that the main Coke product would still be made with corn syrup, with the cane sugar version offered as an alternative. Mexican Coke — which is made with cane sugar — is often sold at a premium in US stores and prized for its more "natural" flavour. The US president did not explain what motivated his push for the change, which would not impact his well-known favorite beverage, Diet Coke. Since his return to the White House, Trump has reinstalled a special button in the Oval Office that summons a helping of the sugar-free carbonated drink. HFCS became popular in the 1970s, with its use skyrocketing thanks to government subsidies for corn growers and high import tariffs on cane sugar. Any shift away from corn is likely to draw backlash in the Corn Belt, a Midwestern region that has been a stronghold of support for Trump. Both HFCS and sucrose (cane sugar) are composed of fructose and glucose, but differ at the structural level. Those differences don't appear to significantly affect health outcomes, according to research. Trump's preferred Diet Coke is sweetened with aspartame — a compound classified as a "possible carcinogen" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
