Pakistan's Gold Prices Witness Decline Amidst Global Market Trends

Pakistan's bullion market has seen a significant downturn in gold prices, with the price of 24-carat gold per tola reaching Rs 270,500, a decrease of Rs 7,000. The price of 10 grams of gold also decreased by Rs 6,000, settling at Rs 231,911. This decline is largely attributed to a decrease in international gold prices, which have been affected by market trends and global economic data.

According to the latest Exchange Rate Bulletin released by the Financial Markets Association of Pakistan, the price of gold per ounce has dropped by $77, reaching $2,593. This decline is a part of a global trend, where investors are awaiting clarity on US economic data and interest rate trajectory. The changes in global gold prices have had a ripple effect on the local market, leading to a decrease in demand and subsequently a drop in gold prices.

This downward trend in gold prices can also be seen in the silver market, with the price of silver per tola falling to Rs 3,250. The international market has also witnessed a decline, with a drop of $13 in the price of silver, reaching $2,670. The Pakistani rupee has gained 0.04% against the US dollar in the inter-bank market, with a value of 277.75 at 11:00 AM. The current market trends indicate a decrease in demand for precious metals, contributing to these declines.

The changes in gold and silver prices are likely to have a significant impact on the local market, with a possible ripple effect on various industries and economic sectors. As investors await further clarity on global economic trends, the prices of precious metals are expected to remain volatile in the coming days.
