Gold prices declined at the start of the new business week in Pakistan. The drop followed a downward trend in the international market. Traders and investors are closely watching the situation as global uncertainty continues.
According to data from the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Association, the price of Gold per tola fell by Rs1,600. The new rate settled at Rs495,362 in the local market. This decline has slightly eased pressure on buyers who were facing record-high prices in recent weeks.
Similarly, the price of 10 grams of Gold also decreased. It dropped by Rs1,371 and closed at Rs424,693. Market experts say such movements reflect global price changes and investor sentiment.
In the international bullion market, gold prices also showed a decline. The per ounce rate dropped by $16 and hovered around $4,730. Analysts believe global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions are influencing price trends.
Silver prices in Pakistan followed a similar pattern. The per tola rate of silver decreased by Rs130. It settled at Rs7,934 compared to the previous rate of Rs8,064. This shows a broader decline in precious metals.
The drop in Gold prices comes at a time of increased volatility in financial markets. Failed talks between the United States and Iran have added pressure on global markets. Investors are reacting cautiously due to fears of further escalation.
The Pakistan Stock Exchange also experienced a sharp decline. The KSE-100 Index dropped by nearly 5,200 points, closing at 162,057.43. This fall reflects growing uncertainty among investors.
Experts say many investors are moving towards safer options. Cash is being preferred over risky investments. Some analysts warn that buying during this uncertain period could lead to losses.
Several sectors faced heavy selling pressure. These include automobiles, cement, banks, oil and gas, and power companies. The broad market decline shows the impact of global tensions on local markets.
The situation worsened after US-Iran negotiations collapsed. Talks held in Pakistan lasted 21 hours but ended without success. US officials said key demands were not accepted by Iran.
Iranian leaders also expressed low expectations for a quick agreement. They highlighted ongoing mistrust as a major obstacle. Despite mediation efforts, progress remains limited.
