As Eid Al Adha approaches, gold sales in the UAE are struggling due to persistent high prices. Currently, the gold rate in Dubai stands at over Dh370 per gram for 22K, with minimal fluctuations throughout the week.

Retailers report that many shoppers have already made their purchases earlier this year when prices were slightly more favorable.

The average price resistance appears to be around the Dh360 mark, making it challenging for retailers to boost sales.

As the market navigates these dynamics, experts suggest that ongoing geopolitical developments and inflation concerns may keep gold prices elevated in the coming months.
