The total rise in gold prices at the end of last week reached 160 pounds in the Egyptian market as a result of the high demand for gold in the market and the decline in supply.
George Abdullah, a member of the Gold Division, said that gold prices are affected by several factors, including supply and demand, the availability of ore, the price of the dollar, and the global price of gold, and changes in these factors make gold constantly changing.
He added, in exclusive statements, that the precious metals industry needs to import production requirements, all of which are not local, and these production requirements have increased significantly in recent times with the continued movement of the dollar, including, for example, “wax, rubber, brushes, fries, all of which are imported,” stressing that The market is not stable in the current period, and the factories bear many burdens as a result of the continued payment of labor costs and monthly obligations, with a continued noticeable decline in the sales of the employed, and this undoubtedly reflected in the markets and prices.
