Where in the range the day ended
The shape of the day matters more than any single quote. Over 57 readings the price covered AED 11.62 of ground, and the final reading of AED 511.39 sat AED 0.72 off the bottom and AED 10.90 off the top. In other words the day ended near its floor, not in the middle, and someone quoted at the high would have paid AED 116.20 more on a ten gram purchase than someone quoted at the low. That is the practical case for looking at the range rather than a single number: a spread of 2.28 percent is not noise on a purchase measured in grams. The 22K line moves with it, holding at AED 468.77 against AED 511.39 for 24K, a difference of AED 42.62 per gram that reflects purity and nothing else. We log the gram price through the day and post the readings, with the rest of the Dubai prices we verify, on our Telegram channel.
What a swing this size does not mean
A day range is a description of one day. It is not a trend, not a forecast and not a signal to act, and it says nothing about where the price goes next. Nor does it capture what a shop charges: the gram price is the metal, while a finished piece carries making charges on top of it, and those are a separate question from the one on this page. What the range is good for is timing a decision you have already made. If you are buying by weight, knowing that the number moved by AED 11.62 across a working day tells you that checking twice is worth the minute it takes, and that a quote should be dated.
