Gold prices in Jordan fell on Tuesday, with the price of 21-carat gold — the most traded in the local market — dropping 60 fils a gram to 87.6 dinars, reflecting softer international bullion pricing and a firmer U.S. rate backdrop that is pressuring the metal.

For investors and traders, the move comes as global gold remains under pressure from higher Treasury yields and a stronger dollar environment. Benchmark 10-year U.S. yields rose to 5.11% on the latest reading, while Adalytica’s Gold Fear & Greed Index showed sentiment sliding to 30, deep in “Fear” territory, after dropping 12 points in a day and 41 points over a week.
Exchange-traded gold products also tracked the softer tone. SPDR Gold Shares closed at $393.41 on Friday, below its 50-day moving average of $395.43 and its 200-day moving average of $416.44, while the MACD remained negative and RSI readings pointed to weakening momentum. VanEck Gold Miners ETF fell to $92.87, keeping it just above its 200-day moving average but still well off recent highs.
The Jordan move matters economically because gold is a key household savings asset and jewelry input in the local market. Lower prices can support retail demand, but they also signal that local buyers are facing less urgency to hedge against inflation or currency risk for now.
The next catalyst for Jordan prices will be the direction of U.S. yields, the dollar and spot gold, which has already shown a more cautious tone in recent sessions.
