According to the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Association, the price of gold per tola decreased by Rs8,900, bringing it down to Rs485,062. This marks one of the most notable single-day drops in recent weeks, offering temporary relief to buyers after a period of लगातार increases.
Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold also saw a sharp reduction. It fell by Rs7,630, settling at Rs415,862. Market analysts attribute the decline to fluctuations in global bullion prices and changes in currency dynamics affecting local rates.
In the international market, gold prices dropped by $89 per ounce, reaching $4,627. The global decrease played a key role in pulling down domestic prices, as Pakistan’s gold rates are closely linked to international benchmarks.
Traders noted that the recent volatility in gold prices reflects uncertainty in global financial markets, including shifting investor sentiment and adjustments in safe-haven demand. Gold is traditionally seen as a hedge against inflation and economic instability, and its price often reacts to geopolitical developments and monetary policy signals.
Local jewellers say the decline may encourage some buying activity, particularly among consumers who had postponed purchases due to record-high prices in recent weeks. However, they cautioned that prices could remain volatile depending on international trends.
