Gold prices in Pakistan saw a notable increase on Wednesday, following a session in which they remained constant. This increase was indicative of an upward trend in the global market.
The price of gold increased by Rs800 per tola, to settle at Rs242,300, according to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA).
In a similar vein, the cost of ten grams of gold increased by Rs 686 to Rs 207,733. Gold prices have not altered on Tuesday, with the rate per tola remaining at Rs241,500.
The local gold market’s upward tendency is consistent with the global trend in which gold prices have increased. The worldwide rate for gold increased to $2,345 per ounce (plus a $20 premium), according to the APGJSA. This is a $21 gain in a single day.
The local market’s silver rates stayed steady at Rs2,850 a tola, despite a noticeable increase in gold costs.
The increase in gold prices is attributed by market analysts to a number of global economic issues, such as currency value swings and geopolitical uncertainty, which frequently prompt investors to turn to precious metals as a safe-haven investment.
