KARACHI: Gold prices in Pakistan witnessed a decline on Thursday, as the price of 24-karat gold dropped by Rs 750 per tola, standing at Rs 286,700, compared to its last day’s traded price of Rs 287,450, according to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA).
Similarly, the price of 10 grams of 24-karat gold fell by Rs 641 to Rs 245,799 against Rs 246,440. The price for 10-gram 22-karat gold fell to Rs 225,323. Notably, the current price of 24-karat gold trails Rs 1,200 behind the all-time high discount of Rs 287,900 per tola.
Prices of silver also fell; the per tola price of silver decreased by Rs 30 to Rs 3,401, and 10 grams fell Rs 26 to Rs 2,915 per tola. The decline in the price of gold and silver in Pakistan is caused largely by the corresponding cuts in the international market, with gold featuring a down slide of $8.9 to $2,746 per ounce.
The fluctuation in the pricing of gold and silver in Pakistan is simply a routine occurrence, which even market experts keep an eagle eye on in an attempt to gauge the future trend.
A decline in prices is possibly a good sign for investors and buyers to think of buying gold and silver at prices relatively cheaper, given that the future of gold and silver prices is truly uncertain; a price still less in the eyes of the buyers and therefore monitoring or waiting for the appropriate time to make an acquisition or an investment would be a prudent decision.
