UAE retail gold prices closely track international bullion because the dirham is pegged to the US dollar. Changes in global spot gold, US Treasury yields, the dollar and geopolitical risk are therefore reflected quickly in Dubai and other UAE retail markets. Buyers should also remember that published benchmark rates can change more than once during the day.
