Gold prices increased once again in Pakistan on Saturday, following a fresh rally in the international bullion market. The rise in global gold prices was reflected in local bullion markets, where both gold and silver recorded notable gains.
According to market data, the international gold price rose by $24 per ounce, reaching $4,018 per ounce after a one-day pause in trading gains. The increase in global bullion prices directly influenced domestic rates, pushing gold prices higher across Pakistan.
In the local bullion market, the price of 24-karat gold per tola increased by Rs. 2,400, taking the new rate to Rs. 424,236 per tola. Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold climbed by Rs. 2,057, reaching Rs. 363,713.
Silver prices also moved upward in both international and domestic markets. In the global market, silver gained 41 cents per ounce, bringing the price to $55.91 per ounce.
The upward trend was mirrored in Pakistan’s local market, where the price of silver per tola increased by Rs. 41 to Rs. 6,070. Meanwhile, the price of 10 grams of silver rose by Rs. 36, reaching Rs. 5,204.
Market analysts attribute the latest increase in precious metal prices to continued strength in the international bullion market. Global economic uncertainty, movements in major currencies, and investor demand for safe-haven assets remain key factors influencing gold prices worldwide.
Domestic gold prices in Pakistan generally follow trends in the international market while also reflecting changes in the exchange rate and local market conditions. As a result, any significant movement in global bullion prices is typically passed on to local buyers and investors.
The latest increase comes after recent fluctuations in precious metal prices and highlights the continued volatility in global commodity markets. Investors and traders are closely monitoring international developments, as further changes in global gold prices could influence domestic rates in the coming days.
With both gold and silver posting fresh gains, buyers may continue to watch market trends before making investment or purchasing decisions, while jewelers and bullion dealers expect price movements to remain linked to developments in the international market.
