However, a sharp drop was observed midweek, with prices falling by more than Rs. 5,000 per tola around April 23. Following this decline, the market showed a slight recovery, but rates remained below earlier levels.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"516\" data-end=\"705\">By the end of the week, gold prices stabilized in the range of approximately Rs. 494,000 to Rs. 496,000 per tola, indicating an overall downward trend compared to the beginning of the week.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"707\" data-end=\"941\">Market analysts attribute this fluctuation to changes in global gold prices, the strengthening of the US dollar, and ongoing economic uncertainties.
