📊 Today's Movement (24K)
—
Change vs. the previous close, based on the global gold spot price.
How this is calculated: we take the international gold spot price (XAU per troy ounce in USD), convert it to SAR at the fixed 3.75 USD–SAR peg, divide by 31.1035 to get the per-gram 24K rate, then scale by each karat's purity (22K = 91.7%, 21K = 87.5%, 18K = 75%). Local souq prices may differ slightly due to dealer premiums and making charges.
