Gold Price in Pakistan Rises for the Second Consecutive Day, Reflecting Global Trends
The price of gold in Pakistan continued its upward trajectory for the second consecutive day on Thursday, marking a significant recovery from the losses experienced earlier in the week. This increase in gold prices aligns with the global trend observed in the international market.
According to data released by the All-Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association (APSGJA), the price of 24-carat gold surged by Rs. 1,800 per tola, reaching Rs. 207,800. Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold increased by Rs. 1,543, closing at Rs. 178,155.
This recent price surge follows a series of fluctuations witnessed earlier in the week. On Monday, the price of gold experienced a notable increase of Rs. 8,800 per tola, which was further amplified with an additional rise of Rs. 2,200 per tola on Tuesday. Although there was a slight marginal increase of Rs. 1,000 per tola on Wednesday, today’s surge has helped gold to partially recover its losses. However, it is important to note that, cumulatively, gold prices have still decreased by Rs. 8,200 per tola during the week thus far.
