On February 18, 2026, gold prices experienced a resurgence in Egypt after a notable decline of over two percent in the previous session, which was largely attributed to progressing negotiations between the United States and Iran. The slight rebound indicates market volatility and a reactive buying pattern from investors keen on acquiring gold at favorable prices despite recent fluctuations. Moreover, markets are awaiting the release of the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes from January to gain clues regarding future interest rate trends, which could have significant implications for gold prices.

For Egyptian consumers, the price per gram for the most commonly traded gold type, 21-karat, was recorded at 6,650 Egyptian pounds on this Wednesday. With the ongoing global considerations affecting commodity prices, local fluctuations reflect both international market trends and domestic economic conditions, as gold remains a key investment avenue amidst uncertain economic climates.
