Gold Price Today Across the Middle East on May 24, 2026: Gold prices in the Gulf region were firm at the open on May 24, 2026, with no significant day-on-day changes in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait. The lack of price changes indicates that the bullion markets paused after the fluctuations attributed to global interest rate speculation, fluctuations in energy prices, and safe-haven buying.
Physical buying of gold in the region remains strong. Investors still look at gold as a hedge in their portfolios, in light of continuing political and macroeconomic volatility. In addition, buyers are closely monitoring interest rate movements when it comes to purchasing jewellery.

What’s Next for Gold Prices?
Traders of gold across the GCC are now looking at three key indicators: international spot gold prices, direction of the US dollar and trends in crude oil. The bullion price movements could also be influenced by volatility in global risk appetite and indications from central bankers as well as developments of geopolitics in coming sessions.
The market is in a state of wait and see but gold continues to trade at record-high price levels and buyers continue to be keen for right opportunities to step in.
