The ongoing trade tensions, especially between the U.S. and China, have caused gold prices to hit record levels in Pakistan.
As reported by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewelers Association, the price of gold per tola has increased by Rs 7,800, reaching a new high of Rs 328,800. Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold has risen by Rs 6,688, now costing Rs 281,893.
On the international market, gold has also seen a significant increase. The price of one ounce of gold has gone up by $78, reaching $3,118. Experts believe that the rise in gold prices is largely due to investors turning to gold as a safe investment option.
With ongoing trade disputes and economic uncertainty, many are looking to protect their wealth by investing in gold, which is considered a stable asset in times of financial instability.
The global tariff war has caused market volatility, and gold has historically been seen as a safe haven for investors during such times. As the trade tensions continue, it is likely that gold prices will remain high or continue to rise, as investors seek more secure ways to protect their capital.
This surge in gold prices is not only impacting international markets but also affecting local consumers in Pakistan, where many view gold as a secure form of investment. With the global economy facing challenges, the demand for gold is expected to stay strong, keeping prices elevated in the near future.
