Gold Price in AED — August 2026

Across the 25 trading days recorded in August 2026, 24K gold (99.9% pure bullion) in UAE Dirham opened the month at د.إ477.22 per gram and closed at د.إ552.33 per gram, a net rose of د.إ75.12 (15.74%) over the month. The average daily closing price for the period was د.إ516.34 per gram, giving a useful benchmark for anyone auditing purchases or valuations made during this window.

Prices were most volatile around the extremes of the range: the month's high of د.إ552.33 per gram was recorded on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, while the low of د.إ477.22 per gram fell on Sunday, August 2, 2026. That puts the intra-month trading range at د.إ75.12 per gram, or 15.74% of the low, which is a reasonable proxy for how much short-term volatility affected the market this month.

Purity matters as much as timing when valuing gold. Using August 2026's closing rate, 22K gold (91.67% pure — the standard for jewelry worldwide) closed at approximately د.إ506.32 per gram, 21K (87.5% pure, common across the Gulf) at د.إ483.29 per gram, and 18K (75% pure, favored for its durability in fine jewelry) at د.إ414.25 per gram. In trade units beyond the gram, the closing 24K rate converts to roughly د.إ6,442.30 per tola (the standard unit across South Asia and the Middle East), د.إ17,179.49 per troy ounce (the international spot-market unit), and د.إ552,333 per kilogram.

Against the previous month's close of د.إ478.26 per gram, gold gained 15.49% by the end of August 2026. Tracking this kind of month-over-month movement is one of the more reliable ways to judge whether a longer-term trend is forming, rather than reacting to a single day's price swing.

This data reflects raw international spot-market closing rates and does not include local retail premiums, making charges, or import duties that jewelers and dealers typically add. It is best used for portfolio audits, insurance valuations, scrap-gold ROI calculations, and understanding broad price trends — for an actual buy or sell quote, cross-reference against a local dealer's rate for the same date.
