The gold storm has hit the world out of nowhere in 2025. The gold prices in Dubai reached an all time high on Tuesday. The market experts are calling this gold price hike a renewed record after the turbulence caused during the previous week.
The 24-karat gold price has reached AED 525.25 while the 22-karat gold price has touched AED 486 this week. This surge is most likely caused by the global sell-off that had trimmed part of bullion’s recent rally earlier this week. The prices have increased all across the globe — even reaching the all-time high of $4,380 per ounce before it pulled back slightly.
This global price surge has caused the rate of gold to hit a new record in not just UAE, but also in other South Asian countries, including Pakistan and India.

What Has Increased The Price of Gold In Dubai?
Global demand for gold has risen — which has already created waves in Dubai’s marketplaces — has occurred due to a combination of reasons. The major causes include the continuing wars in Ukraine and Israel’s unpredictability in the GCC region, including the genocide in Gaza. These escalating affairs have created an environment of increased risk, which increased the demand for gold as it is considered a secure and a tangible asset.
Central banks around the world have also been accumulating gold at a greater rate than ever. They have purchased over 1,000 tons annually for three consecutive years which creates an illusion of rising gold prices in Dubai and elsewhere.
So, now due to all these driving factors, the price of gold has reached an unprecedented level of highs. Investors and consumers are worried about the future as the economists are suggesting that the prices of gold will reach even higher levels in the near future.
