After two consecutive days of decline, gold prices in Pakistan recorded an upward trend on Wednesday, tracking gains in international markets.
According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the price of gold per tola rose by Rs1,400, reaching Rs349,300 in the local market. Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold increased by Rs1,200, settling at Rs299,468.
On Tuesday, gold prices had dropped sharply, with the per tola rate falling by Rs3,600 to Rs347,900, reflecting pressure from both local and global trends at the time.
Silver prices also saw an uptick on Wednesday. The per tola rate of silver increased by Rs32, reaching Rs3,480.
Market analysts suggest that fluctuations in precious metals are closely tied to global economic signals and investor sentiment, with current gains fueled by renewed demand and international market strength.
