Gold Prices on the Rise: What You Need to Know
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the gold market, you might have noticed prices climbing consistently. Just this past Friday, the price of gold rose for the third consecutive day, making waves both in international and local markets. In the international bullion market, gold jumped by a whopping $51 per ounce, reaching $4,319. That’s some serious movement!
Back home, our local market reflected this trend. According to data from the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the price of gold per tola increased by Rs5,100, now sitting at Rs454,336. Similarly, for those who deal in smaller quantities, the price for 10 grams rose by Rs4,372 to reach Rs389,519.
And it’s not just gold that’s experiencing a boost. Silver prices are also on the up. Currently, the price of silver per tola has increased by Rs280, bringing it to Rs6,939, while the price for 10 grams has risen by Rs240, now at Rs5,949.
Looking back over the last few days and weeks, gold prices have seen significant fluctuations. Just last Thursday, for example, local gold prices surged by Rs11,300 per tola, skyrocketing to Rs449,236. Meanwhile, silver also enjoyed gains, rising by Rs35 to reach Rs6,659 per tola.
But it hasn’t all been about upwards movement. Earlier in the week, on Tuesday, presented a dip in local gold prices even while international rates were recovering. The local price fell by Rs500 to Rs427,936 per tola. However, silver managed to defy the odds, increasing by Rs60 during the same period.
