Global Factors at Play
The recent increase in gold prices is not only a local phenomenon but is also influenced by global factors. Last week, the cumulative price of gold had gone up by Rs. 4,950 per tola. On Friday, the price briefly dropped by Rs. 50, only to rise by Rs. 2,000 on the following Saturday.
These fluctuations can be attributed to rising international bullion rates, coupled with the gradual weakening of the Pakistani Rupee during the week.
Global Gold Rates
It’s important to note that gold prices are not determined in isolation. They are part of a global market, and international gold rates play a significant role. As of the latest data, international gold rates stood at $1,997.5, marking a 0.07 percent increase compared to the previous day’s rates.
The global gold market is currently influenced by various factors, including geopolitical events such as the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.
