Gold has long been valued as a safe-haven asset, especially during times of inflation, geopolitical tensions, and economic uncertainty.
Serving as both a store of value and a medium of exchange, it continues to draw investors seeking stability amid market fluctuations.
With the rise of digital finance, such as gold-backed Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), mobile trading platforms, and other fintech tools, access to gold trading has become easier.
This has allowed smaller investors, including those in the Gulf region, to enter a market once dominated by large institutions.
The latest price changes highlight steady global demand, reflecting cautious investor sentiment amid ongoing economic and political challenges.
