Why Dubai Stands Out in Gold Trade

A Global Gold Hub

Dubai, often dubbed the “City of Gold,” accounted for about 25% of the world’s annual gold trade in past years, competing with global peers like Shanghai and London.

Retail vs. Spot Pricing

Retail gold prices in Dubai include a small markup over international spot rates to cover logistics and making charges. For example, gold bar spot prices (from GoldTrade) show AED 394.72 per gram (~USD 107.41) as of early today—slightly lower than the retail rates above.
