Gold Prices Reach Record High in Pakistan

Gold prices in Pakistan surged sharply on Monday, reaching record levels once again. According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association, the price of 24-karat gold rose by Rs3,400 per tola. With this increase, the price reached Rs393,700 per tola. The price of 10 grams of 24-karat gold also climbed by Rs2,915, now standing at Rs337,534. This rise reflects growing market uncertainty and continued investor interest in precious metals.

The global market also showed a similar upward trend in gold prices. The price of gold per ounce increased by $34, reaching $3,719. This global jump added pressure to local markets. Experts say global inflation fears and weak currencies are driving gold demand. Investors are using gold as a safe place to store value during economic uncertainty.

Silver prices in Pakistan also went up following the gold hike. The price of 24-karat silver rose by Rs63 per tola. It now stands at Rs4,595 per tola. Meanwhile, 10 grams of silver are being sold for Rs3,939. The rising trend shows continued pressure on precious metal prices across the board.

Local jewellers expect prices to stay high in the short term. They point to global tensions and uncertain financial markets. Many customers are still buying, fearing further increases. Some, however, are holding back in hopes of a price correction. The market remains highly sensitive to global financial developments.

In conclusion, gold and silver continue to attract investors both in Pakistan and globally. Their rising prices reflect a broader shift toward safe assets. Experts suggest that prices may rise further if current trends continue. Buyers are advised to stay informed and cautious. The situation remains unpredictable as markets respond to global economic signals.
