Gold Price Today: The Gulf region’s gold market continued to display resilience across May 11–12, 2026, with prices staying elevated despite minor day-to-day fluctuations.

Saudi Arabia: Stable to Slightly Higher Trend: In Saudi Arabia, 24K gold saw a marginal increase, holding its strong position in the range of previous highs.

Market sentiment remained broadly positive, supported by consistent bullion strength. Global Gold: Near Record Territory: On the global front, spot gold strengthened further to approximately $4,736 per ounce, up from earlier levels around $4,715.
