Local gold valuation index
How is the gold gram price calculated in Egypt?
The local price depends on three elements: the price of an ounce on the international stock exchange, the dollar exchange rate against the pound, and the purity percentage of each karat. 24k is pure gold, and 21k represents 21 out of 24 parts of purity; therefore, its price is calculated by multiplying the pure karat price by 21 and then dividing by 24.
What is the difference between selling and buying prices?
The buying price is what the merchant pays you when you sell your items, while the selling price includes a margin for workmanship and stamps, which increases for items with complex designs. The difference between the two prices is known as the merchant's margin.
Which karat is better for investment?
From a value preservation perspective, 24k gold bars and gold pounds are less likely to lose workmanship value upon resale, while 21k and 18k jewelry are predominantly for usage. The final decision depends on the holding duration and the purpose of the purchase.
