Gold prices have continued the downward trend for the third consecutive day, resulting in deeper losses for investors and buyers.
Over the past three days, gold prices per tola have fallen by Rs18,700. After a sharp Rs10,700 drop on the previous day, prices slipped by another Rs2,500 on Wednesday. As a result, the price of gold per tola settled at Rs456,962. The rate for 10 grams of gold also declined by Rs 2,143, closing at Rs 391,771.

International markets mirrored the weakness. Global gold prices fell by $25 per ounce, taking the rate to $4,346 per ounce. Silver prices also came under pressure. The price of silver per tola dropped by Rs212, bringing the new rate to Rs7,718.
Financial analysts observing these trends note that such corrections represent normal market behaviour following significant rallies. The current decline may present buying opportunities for long-term investors, though timing remains crucial.
The current three-day decline follows a period of substantial gains, highlighting gold’s characteristic volatility. Precious metals typically experience cyclical patterns with periods of consolidation following rapid appreciation.
