Read the local drivers together

Gold, USD/AED peg

Gold in AED can rise because gold gains in USD, because the local currency weakens, or both. The dirham is maintained at AED 3.6725 per US dollar. Gold in AED therefore primarily follows the international USD gold price before local dealer premiums and taxes.

How the AED price is calculated

Gold trades internationally in US dollars per troy ounce. MarketsGrid converts that price into UAE dirhams at the official USD/AED peg (3.6725), so the AED price moves with both the metal and the exchange rate. Local dealers quote their own prices, which include premiums, taxes and their own FX rate.

Historical AED prices on the chart are converted day by day with the reference rate in force on each date, which makes long-run comparisons in AED meaningful: a rising AED price can reflect a stronger metal, a weaker UAE Dirham, or both.
