Gold rates in Pakistan have once again made headlines after a shockingly high 24-hour increase, driven largely by momentum in the international bullion market. According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the local gold market saw one of its most dramatic single-day jumps in recent months.<\/p>\n
On Friday, the gold price per tola surged by Rs. 10,700, reaching Rs. 454,262, while the 10-gram price soared by Rs. 9,174, closing at Rs. 389,456. This sudden rise has left investors, jewellers, and market analysts closely watching the global cues that influenced this rally.<\/p>\n
The jump comes a day after gold per tola recorded a comparatively modest increase of Rs. 500, touching Rs. 443,562. But Friday\u2019s spike was far more significant, indicating stronger shifts in the global precious metals market.<\/p>\n
The international gold market played a major role in today\u2019s local price rally. Globally, gold prices soared by $107, reaching $4,319 per ounce, including a premium of $20. This increase aligned with rising investor interest in safe-haven assets.<\/p>\n
