Dubai Gold Prices Soar Past Dh405
Gold prices in Dubai reached a new peak on Monday morning. 24K gold traded at Dh405.25 per gram, breaking previous records. Dubai Jewellery Group confirmed the spike in morning rates across all gold variants. 22K gold sold for Dh375.25, while 21K and 18K traded at Dh360.0 and Dh308.5. Rising global uncertainty drove strong demand for the precious metal.
Asian Markets Push Gold to $3,370.17 Per Ounce
Gold prices in Asia touched a record high of $3,370.17 per ounce. Investors reacted to renewed fears over tariffs and U.S. economic policy. US President Trump’s comments on the Fed added pressure to global financial markets. Many markets were closed for Easter Monday, which reduced trading volumes. Despite this, gold saw strong upward movement in Asian trading sessions.
Trump’s Remarks Shake Market Confidence
Trump’s criticism of the Federal Reserve unsettled already nervous investors. His comments raised concerns about political interference in monetary policy decisions. Saxo said the Fed’s independence appears under threat. “Markets are sensitive to instability during ongoing geopolitical tensions,” added. Investors now fear a more uncertain path for future interest rate decisions.
Rate Cut Expectations Support Gold Prices
Lower interest rates make gold a more attractive investment for many traders. Saxo Bank noted a potential 75–100 basis point rate cut this year. The Fed’s shift toward easing supports higher gold demand across global markets. “Gold pays no interest, so lower rates improve its appeal,” said Saxo Bank. Citi and Saxo raised their 2025 gold price forecast to $3,500 per ounce.
Outlook Remains Strong for Gold
Rising political tensions and economic uncertainty continue to lift gold price worldwide. Investors see gold as a safe haven during volatile times in global markets. With expected rate cuts and geopolitical risks, gold prices could climb further this year.
