Gold Prices Surge in Pakistan and Global Market Amid Regional Tensions
Gold prices in Pakistan recorded a sharp increase on Saturday, extending a six-day upward streak driven by global uncertainty amid the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict. The domestic market followed international trends, where gold prices also edged higher.
According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association, the price of 24-karat gold per tola rose by Rs1,465, reaching Rs358,465, while the price of 10 grams of gold climbed by Rs1,256, now standing at Rs307,325. This marks a continuation of the bullish trend following a brief five-day decline earlier in the month.
