Gold rates saw a sharp rise throughout the weekend after the US Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis point to a range of 3.5 to 3.75 per cent came on Friday.
Gold prices have increased more than seven per cent from November. They rose to a record high of Dh525.25 on October 21, before falling sharply.
