Frequently Asked Questions
What is today's gold rate in Kenya?+
The live 24K spot price in Kenya is quoted in KES above and refreshed every few minutes from international wholesale markets. Local retail prices add a small dealer premium and any applicable VAT or import duty.
Why does the local jeweller charge more than the price shown?+
Jewellers add making charges, wastage, dealer margin and (in many countries) VAT or sales tax on top of the pure metal value. Use the karat table as your baseline.
Is gold a good hedge against KES inflation?+
Historically gold has preserved purchasing power across long inflationary periods, but short-term it tracks USD strength and global rates more than any single local currency.
