  • 22-carat: Dh 346.75 (Rs 8,145.60) per gram
  • 21-carat: Dh 332.50 (Rs 7,810.85) per gram
  • 18-carat: Dh 248.00 (Rs 5,825.84) per gram

In global markets, as of 2:50 am Eastern time, spot gold is up 1.6 percent and is trading near USD 3,150 an ounce, close to its previous record highs.

The spike comes in response to US President Donald Trump’s announcement on Wednesday, 9 April, that tariffs on Chinese imports would increase from 104 percent to 125 percent, despite a 90-day pause on tariffs for other countries.

The news also sparked a rally in the S&P 500, which rose 6 percent to 5,281.44, breaking a losing streak triggered by Trump’s earlier “Liberation Day” tariff declaration.

In retaliation, China announced a tariff increase on US imports to 84 percent.
