Gold gained nearly Dh20 per gram at the start of the week, but lost those gains later as US president Donald Trump said he would not ask Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell to quit .

US multinational financial services firm JP Morgan predicted that yellow metal could cross $4,000 per ounce next year amidst global uncertainties, geopolitical tensions and the US-China tariff row

The American bank sees precious metal averaging $3,675 per ounce by the fourth quarter of this year and hit $4,000 in the second quarter of next year.

As reported by Khaleej Times earlier, analysts and gold jewellers in Dubai expect yellow metal to stay on the higher side due to tariff, geopolitical tensions, and central bank buying.

However, the demand for gold jewellery has taken a hit due to high prices and many residents are opting to sell to take advantage.
