This day in context

Where this day sat. At 6,288 EGP — the figure we recorded for 2026-09-22, which is the average of the prices we sampled across that whole day rather than the point-in-time level quoted above — the 21K gram was down 1.11% on the previous session, in the lower part of its trailing 30-session range of 6,232–6,646 EGP — the 14th percentile of that window. The briefing above quotes 6,325 EGP for 21K on this date, which is the level at the moment it was published; our full-day average is 6,288 EGP, 37.5 EGP (0.60%) lower. The gap is movement during the day between those two moments, not a revision of either figure.

What moved it. Splitting the day's move into its two causes: the metal itself accounted for -0.54% and the USD/EGP rate for -0.58%. On this date the larger contribution came from the Egyptian pound. Against a mean daily move of 0.77% across the trailing window, this was an ordinary day by recent standards.

What it cost to trade. The quoted buy-back sat 100.0 EGP below the sell price, or 1.59% of the gram. At this window's average daily movement that spread takes about 2.1 days of favourable movement to recover — before any workmanship, which is never recovered at all.

How this day compares

The tables below compare 2026-09-22 with our own earlier snapshots: 66 sessions recorded to this date, the last 30 of them forming the window used throughout. Every figure in this section is our own recorded daily average for the date named, not the point-in-time level quoted at the top of this briefing.

Earlier sessions measured against 2026-09-22

The last column is the one figure a buyer actually feels: what a gram bought at that session's sell price would return at this session's recorded buy-back of 6,188 EGP, before any workmanship, which is never recovered.

Every reading against seven sessions earlier

Metal or pound. The last row separates the two causes of a move in EGP: 24K divided by USD/EGP is the metal alone. From 2026-09-13 to 2026-09-22 that index went 139.6 to 139.3 (−0.27%) while USD/EGP went 51.40 to 51.60 (+0.39%) — about 41% global gold and 59% the pound, on a 21K headline of +0.12%.

The trailing 30 sessions

Gold against silver. 24K 7,186 EGP, 999 silver 108.8 EGP: a gram of gold bought 66.0 grams of silver on 2026-09-22, against a 67.1 mean and a 65.6–68.7 range over 30 sessions — gold cheaper against silver than the window average.
