Gold prices in the Egyptian market experienced a state of stability at the start of trading today, Monday, October 5, 2026. The market moved within a narrow range amid close tracking of global ounce trends and exchange rate developments.

Stability of 21-Karat and Gold Prices in Egypt

21-karat gold—the most popular and widely traded in Egypt—maintained its stability at 6,135 EGP per gram, while other karats continued trading near their previous morning levels without sharp fluctuations. The price list is as follows:

24-Karat: 7,012 EGP

21-Karat: 6,135 EGP

18-Karat: 5,263 EGP

Global Ounce Performance and Pricing Factors

Globally, the gold ounce stabilized near the $4,180 level, with firm attempts to hold above $4,150, as markets watch to see if the price will retest the $4,200 barrier.

While a strong US dollar and rising bond yields continue to pressure the precious metal globally, the stability of the USD/EGP exchange rate in the local market directly supported Egyptian gold prices, keeping 21-karat trading above the 6,100 EGP mark.
