Global Market Influence
The surge in Pakistan’s bullion prices is closely tied to the international gold market. Spot gold traded at $3,583 per ounce, while US gold futures settled slightly lower at $3,624 per ounce for December delivery.
Analysts say the sharp rise is driven by growing expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate cut, especially after a weaker-than-expected US jobs report. This has increased demand for safe-haven assets like gold worldwide.
Why It Matters for Pakistan
-
Investors: Many are turning to gold as a hedge against inflation and currency depreciation.
-
Households: The sharp rise has made gold jewelry and ornaments more expensive, impacting wedding season demand.
-
Economy: Rising gold prices reflect broader uncertainty, adding pressure to Pakistan’s already fragile inflation outlook.
Final Word
Gold in Pakistan has reached an all-time high, crossing Rs. 384,000 per tola, reflecting both global uncertainty and local economic pressures. With silver prices also climbing, experts believe bullion may continue its volatile run in the coming weeks.
For investors, this surge signals a strong safe-haven trend, while for consumers, it highlights the growing cost of essential commodities tied to international markets.
