Simultaneously, the international market echoed this downward trend as the price of gold fell by $20 per ounce, ultimately settling at $1,968. On the other hand, silver prices remained stable at Rs2,580 per tola and Rs2,211.93 per 10 grams.
Surprisingly, just a day before this decline, gold had displayed signs of recovery in the domestic market. Following two consecutive sessions of decrease, the per tola gold price had risen by Rs200, reaching Rs214,200. Additionally, the 10-gram gold price experienced a positive shift in the local market during the same period.

Several economic indicators and global events have played a pivotal role in shaping the current scenario. Let’s delve into these factors to comprehend the intricate web of influences affecting the gold market.
In conclusion, the recent decline in gold prices in Pakistan is a complex interplay of global economic indicators, supply and demand dynamics, currency exchange rates, investor sentiment, government policies, and technical factors. While the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Association’s report highlights the immediate impact on the local market, a holistic understanding requires considering the broader global context.
