Gold prices in Pakistan surged to historic highs, with the price of 24-carat gold per tola nearing Rs600,000 for the first time ever, reflecting a sharp rally in global markets. According to market sources, the price of 24-carat gold rose by a record Rs21,200 per tola to reach Rs572,862, the highest level in the country’s history. Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold increased by Rs18,175, climbing to a record Rs491,136 in the local market. Meanwhile, in the international market, gold prices jumped sharply, with spot gold rising by $212 in a single day to reach a record $5,505 per ounce. Analysts attribute the sharp rise in gold prices to global economic uncertainty, inflation concerns, and increased investor demand for safe-haven assets.
