Gold prices in Egypt continued to react to global economic developments on Saturday, February 14, 2026, with interest rates and global inflation playing a key role in determining the trajectory of the precious metal locally. The price of 21-karat gold reached 6,710 Egyptian pounds, according to recent reports.
Current gold prices in Egypt are as follows: 24-karat gold is trading at 7,668 Egyptian pounds; 21-karat gold is at 6,710 Egyptian pounds; 18-karat gold is priced at 5,751 Egyptian pounds; 14-karat gold is selling for 4,733 Egyptian pounds. The gold pound, equivalent to 8 grams of 21-karat gold, is currently valued at 53,680 Egyptian pounds.
The rise of the US dollar and declining expectations for interest rate cuts in the United States are having a significant negative impact on global gold prices. Gold does not offer a yield to its holders, so maintaining high interest rates increases the opportunity cost of holding gold and reduces demand as an alternative investment. Conversely, a strong dollar adds to the downward pressure on gold due to the inverse relationship between the two.
According to reports from February 14, 2026, the price of a gold pound was recorded at 53,200 Egyptian pounds, with fluctuations of between 20 and 30 Egyptian pounds daily, depending on global changes and demand. Another source indicated a price of 53,600 Egyptian pounds for a gold pound before taxes, hallmarks, and manufacturing costs are added.
The price of 24-karat gold is currently 7,600 Egyptian pounds per gram, even as 21-karat gold is 6,650 Egyptian pounds per gram. The price of 18-karat gold is 5,700 Egyptian pounds per gram.
