Yemen gold market
Yemen's retail gold is overwhelmingly 21K, sold in the old souks of Sana'a, Aden and Taiz. The rial trades at two very different rates — Aden and Sana'a have operated separate exchange regimes since 2016 — so the same gram can carry two prices in the same country on the same day, and the figure below is a conversion at the market rate, not a quote from either city. Gold retains its traditional role in the mahr and as portable savings through displacement, and jewellers commonly buy back at the day's rate less a fixed workmanship deduction.
Common questions about 24K gold in Yemen
- How is the 24K gold price in Yemen calculated?
- The 24K per-gram price in Yemen is computed as: spot ounce price (XAU/USD) ÷ 31.1035 g × purity ratio × YER/USD FX rate. The spot price is sourced from Binance, Coinbase and Kraken via PAXG/USD, refreshed every second.
- Why does the gold price differ between shops in Yemen?
- The raw spot price is the same across all shops. Differences come from three factors: (1) making charges (5-30 local units per gram), (2) retailer margin (3-10%), (3) local tax if applicable. The price shown here is the floor reference before any add-ons.
- How often is the Yemen gold price updated?
- The spot ounce price refreshes in real time via WebSocket (multiple times per second). The YER/USD FX rate refreshes hourly from open central-bank data. The table above reflects the latest available price.
