Dubai Gold Prices Hit Record Highs in 2025

Gold has always been a safe-haven asset, but 2025 has taken the Dubai gold market to new heights. In September, 24K gold crossed AED 396 per gram, a level not seen before in the UAE. This surge reflects global market trends, central bank buying, and rising investor demand.

Why Are Gold Prices Rising?

Several key factors are driving gold’s rally in 2025:

• Global Uncertainty – Interest rate cuts in the U.S., geopolitical tensions, and inflation fears are boosting safe-haven demand.

• Central Bank Demand – Central banks worldwide purchased over 244 tonnes of gold in Q1 2025.

• Weaker U.S. Dollar – A softer dollar makes gold more attractive to international investors.
