Factors Affecting Gold Prices

Local gold prices are influenced by several factors, chiefly the movement of the ounce on global markets, the Egyptian pound's exchange rate against the US dollar and supply and demand on the local market, as well as developments in global interest rates and investment demand for the precious metal.

Global markets are tracking gold's moves in light of economic and monetary developments and interest rate expectations, as well as shifts in demand for the yellow metal as a safe-haven investment — factors that may be reflected in price movements on the local market.

The prices listed are for raw gold and exclude workmanship (making charges) and hallmarking fees. Final prices for gold jewellery vary from one jeweller to another depending on the making charge and design.
