Global Decline: Gold Prices Steady in Egypt on October 25, 2025
Gold prices remained stable in Egypt during mid-day trading on Saturday, as the market held on to the LE 20 per gram increase recorded at the close of Friday’s session. The stability comes amid a global decline in gold prices, following the release of new U.S. inflation data that trimmed earlier losses but pushed the metal toward ending a ten-week winning streak.
Global Market Performance
Internationally, gold prices slipped by 0.2% to $4,118.29 per ounce, after an earlier drop of nearly 2% in the same session. Over the week, the yellow metal has lost more than 3% of its value.
U.S. gold futures for December delivery also fell by 0.2%, settling at $4,137.8 per ounce.
Despite the recent dip, gold remains up by approximately 55% since the beginning of the year, buoyed by geopolitical tensions, central bank purchases, and growing expectations of a U.S. interest rate cut in the coming months.
Other Precious Metals
Other precious metals also faced declines:
Silver dropped 0.6% to $48.65 per ounce, heading for a weekly loss of over 6%.
Platinum slid 1% to $1,608.77 per ounce.
Palladium edged down 0.5% to $1,450.05 per ounce.
