Gold Prices Reach Record Highs: What You Need to Know
Gold has been making headlines recently, and for good reason! On Tuesday, prices of this precious metal soared to new record heights, both internationally and here in Pakistan. If you’re curious about what’s behind these soaring prices, you’re in the right place.
Let’s dive into the details: international bullion climbed by $51, reaching a staggering $3,770 per ounce. In Pakistan, 24-carat gold jumped for the second day in a row, increasing by Rs5,100 to an all-time high of Rs398,800 per tola. Even the silver market is reacting, with prices going up Rs42 per tola.
So, why is gold becoming so popular right now? Analysts are pointing to several key factors. First, the US Federal Reserve’s recent interest-rate cuts have made gold a more attractive investment. Alongside that, Washington’s tariff policies and measures taken to protect gold reserves are all boosting its appeal.
There’s also the influence of a weaker dollar and central banks increasing their gold reserves, not to mention the surging demand in India as the Diwali festival approaches. This combination of factors is driving prices up globally and reflects in our local jewellery markets.
As of this morning, spot gold was up 1% at $3,784.01 per ounce, hovering just below its previous high of $3,790.82. Silver also showed movement, rising to $44.24 per ounce, which is near a 14-year high. Platinum and palladium didn’t go unnoticed either, climbing by 1.5% and 1.9%, respectively.
