Gold price in Egypt today, Monday, January 26, 2026
Global gold price
Gold prices continued their record rise to exceed $5,100 on Monday, as investors and central banks sought a safe haven from geopolitical risks and market volatility caused by Trump. Gold prices are currently trading near $5,090 per ounce, after hitting a historic high today of $5,110.50 per ounce.
The price of gold jumped 64% in 2025, recording its biggest annual gains since 1979 and breaking several records, driven by demand for it as a safe haven, accommodative US monetary policy, strong purchases by central banks, and record inflows into exchange-traded funds.
Prices have already risen more than 18% since the beginning of this year. Analysts believe that gold has more room to rise this year, possibly reaching $6,000, amid escalating global tensions and strong demand from central banks and consumers.
