Athman Gold buyers, here is your clear guide for Monday July 27. Gold has risen back above $4,100 per ounce, up more than 1%, after the US-Iran fighting paused over the weekend and oil prices crashed. This is an important shift: for the first time this year, the easing of the war is helping gold rise rather than pushing it down. Here is what it all means at the counter, with the Federal Reserve meeting just two days away.
Today’s prices:
24K: ~$131.50/gram | 22K: ~$120.55/gram | 21K: ~$115.10/gram | 18K: ~$98.65/gram
Compared with Friday (gold ~$4,056):
Gold has risen roughly $40 per ounce over the weekend. In gram terms, 24K is about $1.30/gram higher than Friday. If you were considering buying on the recent dip, prices have started to tick up.
Savings versus January all-time high ($5,597/oz):
24K: saving about $48/gram | On a 20g piece: about $960 saved | On a 50g necklace: about $2,400 saved
Why did gold rise? The US paused its strikes on Iran, and for a third straight night neither side attacked. This eased fears about oil supply, so oil prices crashed — Brent fell from near $100 toward $92 a barrel. Lower oil means less inflation pressure, which takes some pressure off the US Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. Since gold competes with interest-bearing assets, a less hawkish Fed outlook helps gold. So the calming of the war finally helped gold, rather than hurting it.
What should buyers do?
For weddings and gifts: prices are still roughly $2,400 cheaper on a 50-gram necklace than at January’s peak, so value remains strong — but gold has started rising. If you have a near-term need, acting sooner may be wise before prices climb further.
For long-term savers: central banks bought a net 41 tonnes in May, and a record 45% plan to buy more this year. If a real ceasefire holds, many analysts see gold recovering toward $4,500 to $4,900 by year-end. The long-term case is strengthening.
For those who can wait: this is a tactical pause, not a formal ceasefire — the war could re-escalate. And the Fed meets Wednesday. Prices could still move either way, so buying in stages remains sensible.
Watch this week: The Federal Reserve’s decision on Wednesday July 29 is the key event. The Fed is expected to hold rates, but Chair Warsh’s comments will move gold. US economic growth (GDP) and inflation (PCE) data also come this week.
