Gold had one of its best mornings of June on Monday. The reason was not a jobs report or a central bank meeting. It was peaceful. On June 14, 2026, President Donald Trump signalled the end of the US-Iran conflict with a short message: “Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the Oil flow.” Those few words reset the gold market almost instantly. As a result, oil fell. Gold jumped. And gold prices in UAE opened the week significantly higher.

Globally, the move was just as sharp. On COMEX, gold prices climbed nearly 2 percent before 7am on June 15, reaching USD 4,317.70 per ounce. This followed Friday’s close of USD 4,239.90 per ounce. Silver also surged. Silver jumped 1.88 percent to USD 70.49 per ounce.
Why Peace Is Good for Gold?
The connection between the peace deal and gold prices in UAE might not seem obvious at first. However, the logic is straightforward. The proposed peace agreement includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil shipping route. Hence, this eases energy supply concerns and helps stabilise global oil markets.
Lower oil means lower inflation pressure. Lower inflation pressure means the US Federal Reserve is less likely to raise interest rates. And lower rate expectations are exactly what gold needs to recover. Therefore, peace does for gold what war could not.
Gold kicked off the week at its highest in four days, trading above USD 4,300, extending a bullish recovery after hitting year-to-date lows near USD 4,000 last week. The low followed a stronger than expected US jobs report that pushed rate hike expectations a lot higher. The peace deal reverses that narrative.
Gold Prices in UAE: How Big Is This Recovery?
The recovery puts things in perspective. US and Iranian officials confirmed on Sunday they had agreed on a peace framework to end their war, halt the US blockade of Iran, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Moreover, the agreement is set to be officially signed on Friday in Switzerland, according to Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
For gold prices in UAE, the numbers tell the story cleanly. On June 12, 24-karat gold in Dubai sat at AED 505.00 per gram. On Monday June 15, it opened at AED 521.75. That is a gain of AED 16.75 in a single weekend. However, the metal is still well below its April 8 high of AED 582.50 and far from January’s all-time high of approximately AED 660 per gram.
What Comes Next for Gold Prices?
Technically gold has left initial resistance near USD 4,415, then USD 4,685 and 100-day average near USD 4,762. A sustained move above these levels means a stronger recovery is in progress.
Much depends on whether the peace deal holds. Gold, silver, and platinum all surged as traders rapidly reassessed the post-war landscape and what it means for inflation and interest rates going forward.
Additionally, if the Strait of Hormuz stays open and oil supply stabilises through June, the Fed’s rate hike case weakens further. That would give gold room to push toward the AED 535 to AED 550 range by month-end.
