Tracking gold prices in Egypt, 30 September 2026, minute by minute

Gold eased in Egypt today, 30 September 2026, giving buyers a softer entry point than earlier in the week. A gram of 24K was quoted at about 7,011 pounds, with 22K near 6,427 pounds, 21K — the grade most buyers across the region choose — around 6,135 pounds, and 18K close to 5,258 pounds. The 8-gram gold pound, at 21K, works out at roughly 49,077 pounds. Globally, the ounce traded near $4,179, which is the reference every local price is built from. Converting it takes two steps: divide by 31.1 to reach a gram of pure gold, then apply the local exchange rate and the purity of the karat. Always ask for a receipt stating the weight, karat and making charge. It is the only reference you have when reselling or exchanging, and it protects you from any later disagreement over what you bought. The hallmark stamped on a piece is its official purity certificate. Its presence means the piece passed through assay; its absence leaves the karat resting on the seller's word alone, which is worth avoiding entirely. Storage deserves thought. Larger holdings are better kept in a bank vault or an insured safe than left at home, where loss usually means no compensation at all. Weight affects the making charge directly. The larger the piece, the smaller the relative charge per gram, which is why buyers saving for the long term tend to prefer heavier pieces over a collection of small ones. A softer market often draws buyers who have been waiting, though it is worth remembering that a single day's move says little about the weeks ahead. When you come to sell, the value of what you hold is usually based on the gram price alone, without the making charge. Choosing the right karat and form for your purpose — saving or wearing — matters more than timing the market.
