Dubai traders are reportedly being forced to cut gold prices due to the ongoing U.S.-Israel conflict, airspace closures, and flight disruptions across the region. As a result, traders are offering discounts of up to $30 per ounce below the global benchmark price in London. The United Arab Emirates is a key gold hub for bullion exports, moving it between Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and several African producers before being shipped to major consumer markets across Asia. The escalation in the Middle East has complicated logistics, including Iranian missile attacks and the widening regional conflict. With flights grounded or reduced, traders face higher insurance and shipping costs, uncertain delivery timelines, and many buyers are postponing new orders.
