On July 30, 2025, spot gold rose by 0.01% to $3,314.79 per ounce. Market data indicates that North American investment demand remains a core driver of the gold market, and gold's status as a significant global monetary asset and risk hedging tool is continually being reinforced, attracting more investor attention. The Middle East market is gradually showcasing its unique strategic value. The international wealth management firm AMCAP Group believes that this region's role in the global gold investment landscape is increasingly prominent, making it an important area for diversified asset allocation.
According to data from the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange, the largest digital trading platform in the Middle East, the contract trading volume had surpassed one million by the end of June, with an average daily trading volume up 30% year-on-year. AMCAP noted that the transaction value of Dubai's spot gold contracts surged by nearly 200% compared to the first half of 2024, with the standout product—spot gold contracts—recording a total transaction amount of $46.8 million in the first half of this year, a significant increase from $15.6 million in the same period last year. This reflects the strong demand from regional and global investors for gold as a safe haven and compliant investment product.
AMCAP Group believes that the strong momentum in gold investment is not only expected to surpass overall performance in 2024 but also solidifies its position as a core pillar of financial infrastructure. As the global market environment becomes increasingly complex, the continuous growth of physical gold traders and institutional clients underscores the demand for efficient, secure, and transparent hedging tools, a trend that may continue to strengthen in the future.
The UAE is continuously reinforcing its status as a global gold trading hub. According to a report released by the Dubai Multi-Commodities Centre last year, the total gold flowing through Dubai reached $129 billion in 2024, a 36% increase year-on-year. AMCAP Group analyzes that Asian investors, particularly those with strong demand for safe-haven assets, are the main driving force behind the active gold trading in the Middle East. Despite recent price increases prompting some investors to adjust their strategies, the appeal of gold as a stable asset will persist.
