Gold prices jumped Dh1 per gram to a one-week high in the UAE on Thursday morning in line with the increase in global prices due to the weakening of the dollar.

Analysts expect that the precious metal may witness volatility as the US Federal Reserve hinted that there could be another rate hike this year after a 25bps hike in rates to a range of 5.25 per cent to 5.5 per cent on Wednesday night. It was the highest interest rate in 22 years.
“The move was widely expected by market participants given recent projections and comments from various officials, including chairman Jerome Powell during the inter-meeting period,” said Diego Colman, contributing strategist, dailyFX.
Naeem Aslam, chief investment officer, Zaye Capital Markets, said the Fed has nodded in agreement with market expectations, and as a result, a symphony of harmony has resonated in the financial world.
“Like a perfectly orchestrated melody, Fed’s synchronised move stroked a chord of confidence among traders, and it is guiding them through the economic crescendo,” he said.
