Gold prices in Pakistan witnessed a sharp decline on Tuesday, mirroring losses in the international bullion market. The gold prices in Pakistan fell significantly in the local market, bringing relief to buyers after recent record highs.

According to rates shared by the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the price of gold per tola dropped by Rs9,000 during the day. As a result, gold was being sold at Rs514,762 per tola.

Similarly, the price of 10-gram gold declined by Rs7,716, settling at Rs441,325.

International Gold Market Impacts Local Rates

The decline in local gold prices followed a sharp fall in international markets. Globally, gold prices decreased by $90 per ounce, reaching $4,920 per ounce, including a premium of $20.

Fluctuations in international gold rates directly influence gold prices in Pakistan, as the local market adjusts based on global bullion trends and currency exchange movements.

Comparison with Previous Session

The latest drop comes just one day after gold prices had already declined. On Monday, gold per tola had fallen by Rs3,200, closing at Rs523,762.

Tuesday’s larger decline indicates increased volatility in both international and domestic markets.

Market analysts suggest that global economic factors, including interest rate expectations and currency movements, continue to drive fluctuations in gold prices worldwide.

Silver Prices Also Decline

In addition to gold, silver prices also recorded a notable decrease in the local market. The price of silver per tola fell by Rs150, reaching Rs8,014.

The downward trend in silver reflects broader weakness in precious metals markets.
