The All-Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association (APSGJA) says the price of 24-carat gold has been increased by Rs2,300 per tola and Rs1,972 per 10 grams, reaching Rs229,300 and Rs196,588, respectively.


Karachi: The price of gold in Pakistan rebounded after a five-day decline, driven by a slight depreciation of the rupee against the dollar and anticipation surrounding the upcoming budget for the fiscal year 2023-24.
As per the latest data released by the All-Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association (APSGJA), the price of 24-carat gold increased by Rs2,300 per tola and Rs1,972 per 10 grams, reaching Rs229,300 and Rs196,588, respectively.
Simultaneously, the international market witnessed a $19 surge in the price of gold, with the precious metal closing at $1,965 per ounce.
The domestic gold market experienced a downward trend throughout the week. The fluctuating gold rates in Pakistan can be attributed to ongoing political and economic uncertainties, high inflation, and currency devaluation. Many individuals view gold as a safe investment and a hedge during such times.
The APSGJA also reported a Rs50 increase in the price of silver per tola and a Rs42.86 increase per 10 grams, settling at Rs2,650 and Rs2,271.94, respectively.
Furthermore, the rupee witnessed a slight decline of Rs0.12 or 0.04% against the US dollar in the interbank market, concluding at Rs286.93 on Friday.
