After hitting record highs earlier, gold prices have suddenly dropped, bringing relief to buyers across Pakistan. The decline follows a noticeable fall in international gold rates, which directly impacted the local bullion market.

📉 International Gold Prices Fall

In the global market, gold prices dropped by $37 per ounce, bringing the rate down to $4,601 per ounce. The dip came after profit-taking by investors and a slight easing of market uncertainty.

Gold Prices Drop Sharply in Pakistan as Silver Also Becomes Cheaper

🇵🇰 Gold Rates Decline in Pakistan

Following the international trend, the local Sarafa market also witnessed a sharp correction:

  • Gold price per tola fell by Rs 3,700, settling at Rs 482,462

  • 10 grams of gold became cheaper by Rs 3,172, now priced at Rs 413,633

This sudden drop comes just days after gold touched historic highs, making the correction significant for traders and consumers alike.

🪙 Silver Prices Also Come Down

Silver prices also moved lower along with gold:

  • Per tola silver price dropped by Rs 150

  • New silver rate stands at Rs 9,425 per tola

🔍 What This Means for Buyers

Market experts say the correction could be temporary, as gold prices remain highly sensitive to:

  • Global economic signals

  • Interest rate expectations

  • Geopolitical developments

Jewellers believe the dip may boost short-term buying, especially ahead of the wedding season, but caution that prices could fluctuate again.

⚠️ Advisory for Consumers

  • Always confirm rates from reliable Sarafa markets

  • Avoid panic buying or selling during sharp fluctuations

  • Investors should track global trends before making decisions

Gold remains a preferred safe-haven asset, but recent movements show that price swings can happen quickly, even after record highs.
