Gold prices have been steadily climbing in both international and domestic markets, and the upward trend persisted through the weekend.
On Saturday, the international bullion market saw gold prices surge by $22, settling at $2,715 per ounce. This increase influenced the Pakistani market, where the price per tola rose by Rs. 2,200.
Consequently, local jewellers now list the price of gold at Rs. 282,700 per tola. The cost for 10 grams of gold increased by Rs. 1,857, reaching Rs. 242,370.
Global economic factors drive this continuous rise in gold prices, with analysts suggesting the trend may continue under existing market conditions.
