The Jordanian markets these days are witnessing a state of anticipation and debate among both citizens and traders, as gold prices continue to rise noticeably, raising numerous questions about whether prices will keep climbing to reach the 90 dinar mark per gram for 21-carat gold in the coming days.

In the latest price list issued on Thursday morning by the General Association of Owners of Jewelry and Gold Shops, the selling price of 21-carat gold — the most demanded in the local market — rose to 84.50 dinars per gram for sale and 81.10 dinars per gram for purchase from jewelry shops, recording a new increase compared to previous days.

The bulletin also showed a rise in prices for other gold carats, with 24-carat gold reaching 96.80 dinars, 18-carat at 74.90 dinars, and 14-carat at 56.90 dinars per gram for sale.

Experts attribute this increase to fluctuations in global gold prices, as well as the local market’s exposure to international economic factors, most notably geopolitical tensions and the rising demand for gold as a safe haven.

Meanwhile, citizens hope that prices will stabilize soon amid ongoing living cost pressures, while gold traders closely monitor the market to see if prices will indeed approach 90 dinars per gram — a level unprecedented in the history of the Jordanian gold market.
