KARACHI: (Web Desk) Gold prices have surged to a new record across the country’s markets on Thursday.

Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold also rose by 1,543 rupees, reaching 275,034 rupees.
These rising prices are causing concern in the local gold market, as the continuous increase in gold prices is affecting people’s ability to buy.
