The price of gold in Saudi Arabia today is witnessing a slight decrease compared to Saturday and Sunday's prices, which raises questions for many investors and buyers:

Is it a good time to buy gold or wait for further decline?

📉 How did the price of gold move today?

The price of 24-karat gold per gram fell compared to the beginning of the week, after prices had been stable or trending upward over the weekend.

This decline comes in light of:

  • The price of an ounce fell on the global stock exchange.
  • Slight improvement in the dollar price.
  • Relative calm in the markets after negative economic news last week.


🌍 The impact of the global market on gold in Saudi Arabia

The price of gold in Saudi Arabia depends on the global price per ounce in dollars, in addition to the local exchange rate and operating costs in the local market.

Therefore, any movements in global stock exchanges or currency prices are directly reflected in the local market.


💡 Why is the decline considered a golden opportunity?

  1. Lower prices mean you can get the same amount of gold at a lower cost.
  2. Boost long-term investment : Gold remains a safe haven asset, and buying when it's low increases your chances of profiting when it's high.
  3. Buying gold as gifts during this period saves costs.
