Retail gold prices in Dubai edged lower on Monday as global investors tried to score some gains following a recent price rally.

As of Monday morning, 24-carat gold was retailing at Dh136.75 per gram, down from Dh137 a day earlier, but still higher compared to most of last week’s prices. Twenty two-carat gold was trading at Dh130, while 21K and 18K stood at  Dh124.50 and Dh107.75, respectively.
