Gold prices in Pakistan fell sharply on Monday, reflecting a major decline in global bullion markets. International gold rates dropped close to $4,400 per ounce, triggering a noticeable dip in local prices.
According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the price of one tola of gold fell by Rs. 43,500, reaching Rs. 447,762. Similarly, 10 grams of gold dropped to Rs. 383,883.
Market analysts say the fall in gold prices is linked to global economic trends and investor behavior. Rising interest rates and market uncertainties abroad have contributed to lower demand for bullion. Pakistan’s gold market often mirrors these international trends.
Traders in local markets reported lower trading activity as buyers waited for clearer signals from global markets. Many investors consider gold a safe haven during economic uncertainty, but the recent decline has made them cautious.
The APGJSA advised consumers and investors to follow price movements closely. Experts warn that further fluctuations in gold rates are possible in the coming days due to continued volatility in international markets.
Despite the recent fall, gold remains a popular investment in Pakistan. Middle- and upper-income groups often buy gold as a store of value and for jewelry purposes. Analysts suggest that the current dip may create buying opportunities for those looking to invest in gold at lower rates.
