On Thursday, November 24, 2022, the price of gold in Egypt reached its highest historical level, as the price of the 21-karat gold recorded LE1,373 per gram.
At the beginning of trading, on Thursday, the 21-karat gold recorded LE1,365 per gram, rising by LE8 later.
The price of gold in Egypt jumped as a result of a sharp increase in the demand for buying bullion.
A large number of traders are turning their balances to gold, Amr Saeed, an expert in the gold jewelery market, said.
Gap in the price of gold
In a statement to Al-Masry Al-Youm, Saeed described the current gold price as “exaggerated”, as there is a gap in the market between the real and the declared price.
These high rates will continue with slight fluctuations in the price during the coming period, he added.
This is because the price boom is driven by the inability of traders to meet their dollar needs and their tendency to convert their balances into gold.
