Gold Prices Rise Slightly as Dollar Strengthens: Implications for Investors in Oman
Washington, July 7 – Gold prices saw a slight increase in today’s trading amid a strong U.S. dollar and rising American bond yields.
The price of gold for current delivery rose by 60 cents, or 0.02%, reaching $1,332.20 per ounce.
In contrast, silver prices dropped by 16.90 cents, or 0.46%, settling at $36.15 per ounce.
This comes as the U.S. administration begins sending notices to several countries with which it has not reached a trade agreement, notifying them of impending high tariffs on their products starting next month.

The recent increase in gold prices amid a robust dollar suggests a volatile market for precious metals, which could impact local investments in commodities. This environment presents both opportunities and risks for businesses in Oman, especially those involved in trade and jewelry, as fluctuating commodity prices may affect profit margins. Smart investors should closely monitor global trade policies and adapt strategies accordingly, particularly in light of impending tariffs that could influence import costs and market access.
