Gold prices in Egypt remained stable at the start of trading on Thursday, November 12, 2026, holding at Wednesday’s closing levels as local markets monitored international ounce prices and movements in the US dollar exchange rate.

The 21-karat gold gram, the most widely traded category in Egypt, stood at EGP 6,140, while 24-karat gold recorded EGP 7,017 amid relatively subdued domestic trading activity.

Global Gold Market Developments

International gold prices experienced sharp fluctuations on Wednesday. The ounce fell below $4,040 before recovering and moving above the $4,060 level during Asian trading.

The precious metal faced pressure following the release of US inflation data. The Consumer Price Index rose by 0.4% in October, exceeding market expectations of a 0.3% increase. The figures heightened concerns over persistent inflationary pressures and influenced market expectations regarding the future path of US interest rates.

Egypt’s gold market is closely watching international ounce prices and dollar movements throughout Thursday, as investors assess developments that could trigger another upward move or extend the recent decline.
