Karachi: Gold prices in Pakistan surged for the fifth straight day on Friday, reaching fresh all-time highs in both local and international markets, driven by strong global demand and investor uncertainty.
According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association (APSGJA), the price of 24-karat gold increased by Rs500 per tola, pushing it to a historic Rs473,362. The steady rise reflects the ongoing global trend, where investors continue to turn to gold as a safe-haven asset amid economic volatility.
Alongside per-tola prices, 10 grams of 24-karat gold rose by Rs429, settling at Rs405,831. Meanwhile, 10 grams of 22-karat gold also recorded an increase of Rs393, bringing the rate to Rs372,025.
Market analysts say the sustained rally is being fueled by global inflation concerns, currency fluctuations, and expectations around interest rate movements, all of which typically strengthen demand for precious metals.
In the international market, gold prices rose by $5 per ounce, reaching $4,510. Experts note that continued geopolitical tensions and uncertain economic signals are keeping gold firmly in demand worldwide.
Silver followed gold’s upward trajectory. The price of 24-karat silver jumped by Rs240 per tola to Rs7,945, while 10 grams of silver increased by Rs206, reaching Rs6,811.
With prices climbing steadily, jewellers report cautious buying from consumers, while investors remain active, expecting further gains if global uncertainties persist. Market watchers advise buyers to closely monitor trends, as volatility could continue in the coming days.
