Gold prices in Pakistan have rebounded after a five-day losing streak, reflecting changes in the international bullion market. As of early Tuesday, the price of 24-karat gold per tola increased by Rs2,300, settling at Rs493,162.
The recovery comes after significant declines. Earlier on Friday, gold prices fell by Rs2,900 to settle at Rs490,862. On Wednesday, the price dropped by Rs1,200 to reach Rs498,962.
As of midday Tuesday, the price of 10 grams of gold rose by Rs1,971, reaching Rs422,806. Silver prices also saw an increase during this period.
Key statistics:
- Price of silver per tola increased by Rs92 to a new rate of Rs8,049.

- The lowest recorded price for gold per tola during the decline was Rs479,562.

Experts from the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA) attribute this rebound to fluctuations in the international bullion market. They note that gold prices often reflect global trends and investor sentiment.
The volatility in gold prices has impacted both buyers and sellers significantly. Retailers are adjusting their strategies based on these rapid changes.
Market analysts predict that continued fluctuations may occur as global economic conditions evolve. The bullion market’s influence on local prices remains a critical factor for traders and consumers alike.
