Karachi: Gold prices in Pakistan recorded a sharp decline on Wednesday as the international bullion market moved downward amid ongoing global economic uncertainty.
According to Beyond Time News, the fall in local gold rates directly followed a drop in global prices, reflecting shifting investor sentiment and reduced safe-haven demand.
Gold Price Falls by Rs6,800 Per Tola
The All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association reported a significant decrease in gold prices across the country.
The price of 24-karat gold per tola dropped by Rs6,800, bringing it down to Rs470,362 compared to the previous rate of Rs477,162.
Similarly, the price of 10 grams of 24-karat gold declined by Rs5,830, settling at Rs403,259.
As a result, buyers and investors witnessed a noticeable correction in bullion rates after recent highs.
International Gold Market Also Declines
Global gold prices also moved downward during the trading session.
According to Beyond Time News, the international price of gold fell by $68 per ounce, settling at $4,480 compared to the previous level of $4,548.
This global decline played a major role in pushing local prices lower in Pakistan’s bullion market.
Silver Prices Also Witness a Decline
Alongside gold, silver prices also dropped in the local market.
The price of silver per tola decreased by Rs125, bringing it down to Rs7,974 from Rs8,099.
Traders said the fall in both precious metals reflects broader adjustments in global commodity markets.
Market Analysts Link Drop to Global Uncertainty
Market experts attributed the decline to changing global economic conditions and ongoing geopolitical developments.
They pointed to international tensions and diplomatic signals involving major economies, which continue to influence investor behavior in bullion markets.
However, analysts also noted that short-term volatility remains common in precious metals trading due to rapid global shifts.
Long-Term Outlook Still Positive for Gold
Despite the recent decline, analysts maintained a positive long-term outlook for gold.
They emphasized that gold continues to serve as a safe-haven asset during periods of uncertainty, inflation, and currency instability.
Moreover, investors still view gold as a reliable store of value due to its limited supply and independence from government-backed currencies.
