Gold prices inched higher at the opening of the markets on the first trading day of the week as global prices remained steady in early trade.
At 9am on Monday, the 24K variant rose to Dh350.75 per gram, up from Dh350.50 per gram at the close of the markets over the weekend.
Among the other variants, 22K, 21K and 18K opened at Dh326.25, Dh313.0 and Dh268.25 per gram, respectively. Globally, spot gold was trading at $2,910.44 per ounce, up 0.05 per cent.
Gold support could be seen near the psychological level of $2,900.
Investors could up their exposure to these two regions through broad-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) such as FTSE Developed Europe or MSCI Europe, or the HSBC MSCI China UCITS ETF or iShares MSCI China UCITS ETF.
Linh Tran, a market analyst at XS.com, said that gold continued to trade sideways as market sentiment remained cautious on geopolitical developments and trade tensions.
“Geopolitical risks, trade wars, and a weak economy have been strong drivers of gold’s recent upward trend. However, these factors now seem to be experiencing delays and uncertainty,” Linh added.
