Gold price increased by Rs450 per tola in the local market for the fourth consecutive session on Monday, following an uptick in prices in the international markets. According to the data provided by Karachi Sarafa Association, the price for one tola of 24-karat gold increased to Rs217,900 from Rs217,450.

The price of 24-karat gold increased by Rs950 per tola on Saturday. Earlier, gold price in the country declined last week by Rs550 per tola. It was the second consecutive week when the prices of the yellow metal decreased in the country. On the other hand, as of 1245 hours GMT, gold futures in the international market were available at $2,052.50 per ounce, showing an increase of $3.80. Out of the $3.80 increase, -$2 was due to strengthening of the US dollar and +$5.80 was due to predominant buyers, according to the Kitco Gold Index. Gold price continued to enjoy decent demand as market participants seemed more convinced about the Federal Reserve (Fed) reducing borrowing costs from March after the release of the surprisingly soft Producer Price Index (PPI) numbers for December.
