Gold Rally Pauses as Prices Drop Sharply in Global and Local Markets

After weeks of strong gains, gold prices have witnessed a sharp correction in international markets, with the impact clearly visible in Pakistan’s bullion market.

Ten grams of gold also recorded a major drop, while silver prices slid steeply as well.

What Caused the Fall?

Analysts say the decline is mainly due to profit-taking by investors after gold touched record levels. A stronger US dollar and temporary demand slowdown also contributed.

Expert View

Economic analyst Raja Kamran says global demand for gold remains strong in the long run, as central banks are gradually reducing reliance on the US dollar and increasing gold reserves. He believes geopolitical tensions and global uncertainty continue to support gold as a safe investment.

Market representative Abdullah Chand from Karachi bullion market said the recent fall appears to be a “market correction” after continuous increases in December and January, not a long-term downturn.

Silver Also Under Pressure

Silver prices have also dropped sharply in international markets, leading to cautious behavior among investors.
