On Sunday, September 20, 2026, the price of gold in Egypt rose with the start of trading, continuing its recent trends amid market monitoring of the global ounce's performance and the US dollar's exchange rate against the Egyptian pound. According to Sawt Al-Umma, the price of 24-karat gold reached 7277 pounds per gram. This significant increase reflects the ongoing movement of gold in the Egyptian market, closely tied to global gold prices and currency exchange rates.
The prices of various gold karats in Egypt on Sunday are as follows: 21-karat gold is priced at 6385 pounds per gram, 18-karat gold at 5493 pounds per gram, and 14-karat gold at 4265 pounds per gram. Additionally, the price of a gold pound is 50100 pounds. These prices indicate a steady increase in the value of gold across different karats, suggesting a positive trend for investors and consumers alike.
The 24-karat gold price, which is a key indicator of gold's movement in Egypt, has remained a focal point for market observers. Its direct correlation with the global ounce and dollar exchange rate makes it highly sensitive to international market fluctuations. As traders and investors monitor the situation, they are keenly aware that any significant changes in these global factors could impact gold prices locally.
Market participants are closely watching the 21-karat gold price, which has reached 6385 pounds per gram. The 6400-pound mark is seen as a crucial resistance level, while the 6300-pound mark serves as a significant support level. As long as trading remains above 6300 pounds, it is likely to support continued improvement in local gold prices, indicating a stable and potentially upward trend.
Globally, gold prices have been on the rise, with the gold ounce approaching 4400 dollars by the end of the previous week. After breaking through the resistance zone of 4310-4330 dollars per ounce, gold saw a 1.2% increase in its last session, reaching 4399 dollars per ounce. This upward momentum is being closely monitored, with market participants eager to see if gold can sustain its recent gains.
The stability of the US dollar against the Egyptian pound, above 52 pounds, continues to influence gold pricing in Egypt. As one of the key factors affecting gold prices, the dollar's performance remains crucial. Alongside this, local demand plays a vital role in determining gold's ability to continue its upward trend, especially given the current economic conditions and their impact on purchasing power.
Looking ahead, market focus will be on the 6400-pound level for 21-karat gold and the 4400-dollar mark for the global gold ounce. If 6400 pounds is breached and sustained, it could enhance the upward momentum in the local market. Conversely, the 6300-pound mark remains a critical support level, and its significance will be closely watched by investors and analysts in the coming days.
