KARACHI – The price of 24-karat gold in Pakistan plunged by Rs14,900 per tola on Friday, settling at Rs438,036 in one of the steepest single-day declines in recent weeks. The drop brought the total decrease over two days to Rs17,200 per tola.

The sharp decline in the local market was triggered by a significant fall in international bullion rates, where the price per ounce of gold fell by $149 to $4,156. The price of 10 grams of 24-karat gold in Pakistan also decreased substantially, shedding Rs13,410 to settle at Rs374,205.

Silver prices also registered a notable decline. The price per tola fell by Rs413 to Rs6,946, while the rate for 10 grams of silver dropped by Rs373 to Rs5,895.

Bullion dealers noted that local gold prices generally follow international market trends, though exchange rate fluctuations and domestic demand also play a role. Market observers attributed the downturn to changing investor sentiment and developments in global financial markets, which often cause volatility in safe-haven assets like gold and silver.
