KARACHI: Gold prices have once again recorded an increase in bullion markets across Pakistan, extending the precious metal’s historic rally amid sustained global demand. According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association, the price of gold per tola rose by Rs1,000, settling at Rs523,762, while the rate for 10 grams increased by Rs857 to reach Rs449,041.
The domestic surge mirrors international market trends, with global gold prices climbing $10 per ounce to hit $5,010, maintaining the metal’s position at unprecedented levels. Market analysts attribute the continued upward trajectory to a combination of factors including geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and strong safe-haven buying from investors worldwide.
The latest increase follows a pattern of volatility in recent weeks, with bullion traders reporting steady demand despite record-high valuations. Jewelers across the country have adjusted their rates accordingly, though industry insiders suggest that consumer interest remains robust, particularly for smaller gold items as buyers adapt to the new pricing reality.
