Today, Saturday, September 4, 2021, the price of gold in Egypt fell significantly, despite the stability of global prices due to the weekend markets.

Global gold prices

Globally, the price of gold rose on Friday (the end of the week trading) due to the weakness of the dollar.

And gold spot transactions rose 0.2% to $ 1812.97 an ounce (one ounce) at 0641 GMT, down 0.2% during the week.

U.S. gold futures also rose 0.2% to $ 1814.80.

The dollar index is down a month, which has strengthened the attractiveness of gold to holders of other currencies.

“We see the pre-emption of individuals who want to take advantage of the NFP,” said Stephen Innes, managing partner at SBI Asset Management.

Although gold is considered a protector against inflation and monetary instability by unprecedented stimulus measures, it lowers the opportunity cost of holding a yellow metal that does not yield low interest rates.
