The precious commodity closed at a record high of Rs147,250 per tola and Rs126,243 per 10 grams on June 20. Cumulatively, the yellow metal gained Rs4,300 per tola in Pakistan during the last four sessions.

The bullion prices also rose in the global market by $2 per ounce to settle at $1,730 — staying above the key level of $1,700.
