Gold prices jumped yesterday to their highest level in four months and penetrated the $ 1550 ounce barrier after an American air strike in Iraq, killing a prominent Iranian military commander, which sparked a wave of buying in safe assets.
Gold, like other safe investment assets, benefits in times of political uncertainty. Over the course of the week, gold jumped more than 2.5 percent, its best weekly gain since early August and continued to rise for the fourth week in a row.
There are 3 rules governing the price of gold in Egypt, which are the factor of supply and demand, the price of an ounce of gold globally and changes in the price of the American currency, which are the rules that are observed on a daily basis when determining prices.
The more the demand for gold and the lower the supply of it, the higher the price. These are global constants that cannot be interfered with by traders, who calculate the price through a calculation by multiplying the international price by the price of the dollar, and through this the prices are determined.
