According to the daily price list issued by the Jordanian General Syndicate of Owners of Jewelry and Goldsmiths Shops:
* 21-karat gold was priced at JOD 86.90 per gram for selling by jewelry shops, while the buy-back price stood at JOD 82.80 per gram.
* On Wednesday, the same category was priced at JOD 85.80 for selling and JOD 81.80 for buying.
Prices for other gold categories also increased:

The increase comes amid continued strength in global gold prices, which have recently climbed to their highest levels in several weeks as investors seek safe-haven assets.
