Gold continues to dominate the overall sceneThe selling price of one gram of 21-karat gold reached 96.3 dinars

Gold continues to fluctuate, with rising prices dominating the local market scene, reflecting a state of anticipation and concern among traders amid clear price volatility. This increase reaffirms gold’s status as a safe haven that citizens turn to during periods of economic instability, whether at the global or local level.

According to the bulletin issued by the Jordanian Association of Owners of Jewellery and Goldsmith Shops on Thursday, the selling price of one gram of 21-karat gold—the most in demand among citizens—reached 96.3 dinars, compared to 91.9 dinars for buying, reflecting a clear price gap between selling and buying in the market.

The bulletin also showed higher prices for other karats, as the price of 24-karat gold reached about 110.1 dinars, while 18-karat reached 85.1 dinars, and 14-karat reached 66.6 dinars for selling from jewelry shops, indicating a continued upward trend across different categories.

Experts attribute this rise to several factors, most notably movements in global markets, local demand levels, and changes in currency exchange rates, all of which directly affect gold prices in the local market. Observers also note that continued economic uncertainty may push prices further upward in the coming period, as investors and individuals turn to gold as a safe option to preserve value.
