Gold Price Analysis
Why is gold price rising in Dubai in 2026?

The US Federal Reserve's increasingly dovish signals, global de-dollarisation trends, and record central bank purchases — led by China, India, and Turkey — are the primary demand drivers. On the supply side, global mine output growth has plateaued, adding further upward pressure to prices.
