Gold prices in Pakistan saw a slight decline on Thursday, as market activity remained subdued over the past three hours. According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the price of gold per tola decreased to Rs. 446,920, reflecting a drop of Rs. 130 from the day’s opening rate of Rs. 447,050. Similarly, the price for 10 grams of gold experienced a slight downturn, indicative of the cautious sentiment prevailing in the local market.
In trading over the last three hours, the international gold market exhibited a moderate downtrend. The global price of gold, including a premium, was recorded at $4,200.88 per ounce, which marks a decrease of $5.21 from the start of the trading cycle. This movement mirrors the mixed signals from international markets as investors weigh ongoing economic data against geopolitical influences.
Silver prices in the local market also registered a minor decrease. The per tola price of silver fell by Rs. 0.11, bringing it to Rs. 58.34. The slight dip in silver prices aligns with the broader trend observed in precious metals, impacted by global market dynamics.
Globally, gold’s performance remains under scrutiny as traders anticipate policy guidance from major central banks. The precious metal’s price fluctuates in response to shifts in currency values and interest rates, as well as broader economic indicators. As such, the current decline in both gold and silver prices could be attributed to a combination of these factors, resulting in a cautious outlook among investors.
The market remains vigilant, with participants closely monitoring international developments that could impact the future trajectory of precious metal prices. As trading continues, local and international factors are expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the market trends, keeping stakeholders attentive to any shifts that may arise.
