-- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DUBAI GOLD PRICES FALL OVER AED 42 PER GRAM IN JUNE 2026 AS GLOBAL PRESSURES WEIGH ON MARKET
24K gold drops from AED 551 to AED 508 per gram over 30 days; UAE expats tracking prices in home currencies see significant movement
DUBAI, UAE — June 15, 2026 — Dubai gold prices have declined sharply over the past 30 days, with 24-karat gold falling from AED 551.25 per gram on May 15 to AED 508.50 per gram on June 15 — a drop of AED 42.75 per gram, or 7.76%, in a single month. Within June alone, 24K gold peaked at AED 542.50 per gram on June 2 before pulling back to below AED 492 per gram on June 11, before partially recovering to today's AED 508.50.
The decline has been driven by stronger-than-expected US economic data raising expectations for higher interest rates, alongside shifting geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East. Internationally, gold fell toward the $4,000 per ounce level at its June low before partially recovering. The yellow metal remains approximately 23% higher than a year ago.
MOVEMENT IN HOME CURRENCIES
For the UAE's estimated 8 million expatriates, the price movement translates directly into changes in what they pay in their home currencies.
Indian expats (3.5 million in UAE): The 22K gold rate in Dubai in Indian Rupees — the most widely purchased karat for jewellery — has fallen by over ₹1,000 per gram compared to the June highs. For a 10-gram purchase of 22K gold, the price difference compared to the start of the month exceeds ₹10,000.

MARKET BACKGROUND
Gold entered June 2026 at elevated levels following a period of strong safe-haven demand, with 24K in Dubai trading above AED 539 per gram. The June correction reflects a repricing of interest rate expectations and a partial unwinding of geopolitical risk premiums. The metal remains significantly higher than 12 months ago, with analysts attributing the longer-term move to sustained central bank buying and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.
The Dubai retail gold rate on June 15, 2026: 24K AED 508.50/gram, 22K AED 470.75/gram, 18K AED 387/gram.
