Gold prices in Pakistan rose sharply on Saturday, mirroring international market trends. The local gold price per tola jumped by Rs4,100, reaching Rs359,800. This increase comes after a slight dip on Friday when gold lost Rs1,500 per tola and settled at Rs355,700.
According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), 10 grams of gold was sold for Rs308,470, up Rs3,515 from the previous day. The international gold price also climbed, reaching $3,371 per ounce with a $20 premium, marking a $41 increase.
Silver prices followed the upward trend, rising Rs108 per tola to Rs4,121. Market watchers expect the prices of precious metals to stay volatile amid ongoing global economic changes.
This surge reflects the strong demand for gold and silver as safe-haven assets during uncertain times. Buyers and investors are closely monitoring these price movements for future market decisions.
