In an unprecedented surge, the price of gold in Pakistan reached Rs275,500 per tola for the first time in the nation's history with an increase of Rs2500.
The price of gold increased by Rs2,500 per tola, reaching a record-breaking Rs. 275,500 in the local markets on Tuesday.
Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold rose by Rs. 2,144, bringing it to Rs. 236,197. This dramatic rise mirrors the global trend, where gold prices surged by $25, setting a new record of $2,653 per ounce.
Market analysts attribute this significant rise to a combination of factors, including inflation, global economic uncertainty, and a weakening Pakistani rupee. As investors seek safe-haven assets, the demand for gold continues to grow, driving prices to new highs.
The record-breaking increase in gold prices has prompted concerns about its impact on the local economy, particularly for industries dependent on the metal, such as jewelry.
Experts predict that the price of gold may continue to rise as global financial markets face continued volatility.
