Gold prices in Pakistan have surged, with the cost of 24kt gold per tola increasing by Rs. 2,300 to Rs. 282,800 as of today, December 12, 2024. This rise follows recent market fluctuations both globally and locally.
For smaller quantities, the price for 24kt gold per 10 grams has risen to Rs. 242,455, an increase of Rs. 1,971. The price for 22kt gold per 10 grams now stands at Rs. 222,250.
Internationally, gold prices have escalated by $23, now priced at $2,716 per ounce. Conversely, silver prices have remained stable; 24kt silver per tola is priced at Rs. 3,450, and per 10 grams at Rs. 2,957.81.
This increase in gold prices is driven by global economic dynamics and heightened demand for the metal during uncertain times, reinforcing gold’s status as a stable investment amidst market fluctuations.
The rise in gold prices is poised to affect both consumers and investors in Pakistan, particularly those in the wedding and jewellery sectors, where gold is a key element.
