Global Gold Market Comparison
The current surge in Pakistani gold prices mirrors international trends. On the global front:
- International spot gold: $5,108/ounce (↑ $71)
- US Dollar Index: 103.45 (down 0.3%)
- International silver: $29.85/ounce
Gold continues to attract safe-haven flows amid rising US-China trade tensions and global economic uncertainty [citation:1].
Why Gold Prices Are Rising in Pakistan
1. Global Economic Factors
Concerns about potential economic fallout from US trade policies and China’s retaliatory tariffs have strengthened gold’s safe-haven appeal. The Federal Reserve’s potential rate cuts also support higher gold prices [citation:1].
2. Currency Fluctuations
The Pakistani Rupee’s performance against the US Dollar directly impacts local gold prices. A weaker rupee makes imported gold more expensive [citation:4].
3. Local Demand
Wedding season demand and investment buying typically push prices higher. Over the past three days alone, gold has increased by Rs17,500 per tola [citation:2].
4. International Market Rally
The global gold market’s strong rally—up $71 per ounce—provided the fuel for domestic price movements [citation:9].
