Gold prices in Pakistan experienced a slight decline on Tuesday, reflecting the nuanced shifts in the international market. In the local market, the price of gold per tola dropped to Rs. 447,720 after a decrease of Rs. 120 during the trading session over the past 3 hours. Similarly, the 10-gram gold rate followed suit, mirroring the cautious sentiment seen across market participants, according to the latest figures from the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA).
At the start of the trading day, gold was priced at Rs. 447,840 per tola, marking a modest retreat as trading progressed. This decline is largely attributed to the subdued international gold market, where prices have fluctuated amid broader economic uncertainties.
Internationally, the gold price slightly decreased, aligning with the local market trend. The global gold rate was last reported at $4,220.29 per ounce, down by $4.77 from the day’s opening level. This downward movement is reflective of a wider global trend where gold prices continue to oscillate in response to geopolitical tensions and economic forecasts.
In the domestic silver market, prices echoed the gold trend, albeit with a lesser magnitude. Silver per tola saw a minor drop to Rs. 5,209, down by Rs. 44 from its previous close. The silver market, while less volatile than gold, remains sensitive to similar international market pressures.
The current shifts in gold and silver prices come at a time when global economic conditions remain volatile. Factors such as fluctuating currency values, changes in global demand, and ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to influence precious metal markets worldwide. As traders and investors adjust their strategies, the local market in Pakistan reflects these broader economic conditions.
As the day progresses, market participants will closely monitor any further developments that could influence these precious metal prices. For now, cautious sentiment prevails, with traders keeping an eye on both local and international economic indicators to guide their investment decisions.
