Gold Prices Hold Steady Amidst Global Trade Tensions and Shifting Investment Trends
Cairo, Egypt – July 25, 2025 – Teh price of gold in egypt remained stable today, with 24-carat gold trading at 4800 pounds per gram, 21-carat gold at 4570 pounds per gram, and 18-carat gold at 3917 pounds per gram. The Egyptian gold pound was valued at 36560 pounds.
This price cohesion occurs despite escalating global market concerns stemming from the implementation of customs duties by U.S. President Donald Trump, effective August 1. these protectionist measures, part of a “response in kind” strategy, target imports from over a dozen countries.
According to analysis from “Gold Pelion,” the newly imposed tariffs vary significantly by country. South Korean goods face a 15% duty, Taiwanese products 20%, Thai imports 19%, and Indian commodities 25%. Canadian exports, however, saw the most substantial increase, with duties rising to 35%, attributed to Ottawa’s alleged failure to halt shipping shipments.
While geopolitical and economic uncertainties typically bolster demand for gold as a safe-haven asset, the strength of the U.S. dollar has reportedly capped global gold gains. This dynamic suggests that currency strength is currently outweighing traditional safe-haven appeal in the gold market.
In a related development, the World Gold Council reported a 3% increase in global gold demand (including over-the-counter trading) for the second quarter of 2025, reaching 1248.8 tons. This surge was primarily driven by a significant 78% jump in investment demand.
Gold-backed investment funds experienced their strongest semi-annual inflow since the first half of 2020. Conversely, global consumption of gold jewelry saw a 14% decrease, falling to 341 tons, a decline attributed to high prices impacting consumer purchasing power.
