KARACHI: Gold prices in Pakistan rose on Saturday, mirroring gains seen in the international market. The price of gold per tola increased by Rs4,100, reaching Rs359,800, while 10-gramme gold was sold at Rs308,470 after a gain of Rs3,515, according to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA).
The latest upward movement comes after a minor dip on Friday, when gold per tola fell by Rs1,500 to Rs355,700. Analysts suggest the market is reacting to fluctuations in global gold rates, which saw a gain of $41 on Saturday, reaching $3,371 per ounce with a $20 premium.
Silver prices also showed positive momentum, rising by Rs108 per tola to Rs4,121. The precious metals market remains closely linked to international trends, with local traders adjusting rates according to global demand and supply.
Looking at gold prices this week, the rate per tola was Rs356,200 on the same day last week. It has now climbed to Rs359,800, indicating a net increase of Rs3,600 over six trading sessions, despite the market’s ups and downs.
