Gold Prices Increase in Local Markets
Gold prices in the local market have seen a modest increase. The price of 24-karat gold per tola has risen by Rs200, reaching Rs275,700. Meanwhile, the price of 10 grams of gold increased by Rs171, settling at Rs236,368. This follows a larger price hike seen just the day before when gold prices surged by Rs1,600 per tola, setting the rate at Rs275,500.
The continued rise in gold prices may be influenced by multiple factors, including fluctuations in the international market and local economic conditions. As gold remains a popular investment in Pakistan, these price movements are significant for both investors and traders.
Silver Prices Hold Steady
In contrast to the rising gold prices, silver prices have remained stable. The price for silver per tola is still Rs3,050, with the price of 10 grams of silver holding at Rs2,614.88. This stability makes silver an attractive alternative for those looking for a steady investment amid fluctuating gold prices.
International Bullion Market Sees Slight Increase
On the international front, the global bullion market has also seen a minor rise in gold prices. The price of gold increased by $3, bringing the current global rate to $2,659 per ounce. This follows a more substantial rise of $16 per ounce the previous day, which pushed the price to $2,656 per ounce. The minor upward movement indicates continuing market activity driven by investor demand, economic conditions, and geopolitical factors.
Conclusion
While gold prices have seen modest increases both locally and internationally, silver remains stable, offering a reliable investment option. Investors are keeping a close eye on these trends as gold’s fluctuating prices suggest ongoing market adjustments. The contrast between rising gold prices and steady silver values provides diverse opportunities for those investing in precious metals.
