Gold was priced at SAR 562.42 per gram, down from SAR 564.70 on Friday.\n\nGold also dropped by tola, reaching SAR 6,559.96 from SAR 6,586.54 on Friday. Other listed prices were SAR 5,624.20 for 10 grams and SAR 17,493.16 per troy ounce.\n\n

Saudi Gold Prices Snapshot<\/h3>\nFXStreet converts international prices into SAR using the USD\/SAR rate and local units. Prices are updated daily at the time of publication and are for reference, as local rates may vary slightly.\n\nCentral banks are the largest holders of gold. They added 1,136 tonnes worth around $70 billion in 2022, according to the World Gold Council, the highest annual total since records began.\n\nGold often moves opposite to the US Dollar and US Treasuries, and can also move against risk assets such as shares. Price changes can be linked to geopolitics, recession fears, interest rates, and shifts in the US Dollar because gold is priced in dollars (XAU\/USD).\n\nWhile a minor dip in gold prices was noted on Monday, this appears to be short-term noise rather than a change in the underlying trend. We see this as a temporary consolidation after the strong performance in the first quarter of 2026. This brief pullback does not change our positive outlook for the coming weeks.\n\n

Key Drivers To Watch<\/h3>\nThe main factor to watch is the U.S. Federal Reserve’s shifting tone on interest rates. After a year of holding rates firm throughout 2025, inflation has cooled, with the latest CPI figures from March 2026 coming in at 2.8%. This has fueled market expectations for at least one rate cut before the end of the year, which is typically bullish for a non-yielding asset like gold.\n\nThis sentiment is already weakening the US Dollar, which has an inverse relationship with gold. The Dollar Index (DXY) has fallen from its 2025 highs of around 107 to trade near 101 this past week. As we saw during the dollar’s decline in late 2024, a weaker greenback makes gold cheaper for foreign buyers and enhances its appeal as a store of value.\n\nUnderpinning this entire market is the relentless purchasing by central banks. Following the record-breaking additions we saw in 2022 and 2023, central banks once again added over 1,000 tonnes to their reserves in 2025. Recent data from the World Gold Council confirms this trend has continued into the first quarter of this year, providing a strong and consistent floor for prices.\n\nGeopolitical tensions and a cooling equities market are also providing support for gold\u2019s safe-haven status. We believe any dips, like the one seen Monday, present an opportunity for traders to add to long positions. Looking at call options or long futures contracts targeting the highs we saw in late February 2026 seems like a prudent strategy over the next few weeks.\n\nCreate your live VT Markets account<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0start trading<\/a>\u00a0now. <\/b>\n
