Global and Local Drivers
According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the domestic dip is a direct reflection of the global market, where gold shed $10 to reach $4,778 per ounce. This comes after a more significant correction on Monday, where the local price plummeted by Rs4,900 per tola.
Market analysts suggest that the strengthening US dollar and cautious investor sentiment—ahead of the potential “Islamabad Talks 2.0” between the US and Iran—are putting pressure on safe-haven assets. Silver prices also felt the heat, dropping by Rs59 to close at Rs8,358 per tola in the local market.
