The Egyptian gold market does not record price updates on Fridays, meaning local shops will continue using the last available figures until the next business session.
There were no price changes recorded for this session. The Egyptian retail gold market observes a pause during the weekend, which means no new base prices were generated today. Market participants should treat the values from the most recent session as the current reference point for all inquiries.
The current absence of price movement follows the standard pattern for Friday and Saturday. Because the market is not active in setting new benchmarks during these two days, the status quo remains unchanged from the previous recorded session. This is a routine break in the reporting cycle that happens every week.
If you visit a shop today, the merchant will base the price on the figures from the last active trading day. Since no new data was set, there is no shift in the cost of a gram or the value of gold when selling back to a jeweler. Always confirm that your local retailer is using the most recent official session figures before finalizing any deal.
If you are planning to visit a store today, remember that prices are currently static. Because the market is closed for the weekend, you will find that shop quotes remain tied to the last available figures. It is helpful to carry those numbers with you to ensure your transaction aligns with the established market level. Take your time to compare offers at different shops, as the lack of a new daily update does not change the importance of checking your local jeweler's specific selling and buying rates.

These figures are our own recorded observations of the Egyptian market on the dates named and contain no forecast; the full series is on the price history and analysis page.
21K gold is about 6,300 EGP per gram to sell and 6,200 EGP buy-back at publication time. Shop prices add workmanship on top of the raw metal value.
The gold pound weighs 8 grams of 21K, so its raw value today is 8 × 6,300 = 50,400 EGP, before workmanship, stamping or tax.
That 100 EGP per gram is the fixed reference this site subtracts from the recorded sell price, not an observed dealer spread: we do not track what individual shops bid, and what a particular dealer pays you may be more or less. It is your real cost of entering and exiting a position.
Together with USD/EGP, yes. The gram equals the ounce in dollars times the exchange rate divided by 31.1035, adjusted for karat purity — so a stable pound passes global moves through one-for-one.
