(Web Desk): The gold price in Pakistan fell by Rs1,600 per tola to Rs439,036, while silver prices also declined in local markets.

The latest drop followed a rise in gold prices a day earlier, showing continued fluctuations in the precious metals market. International gold prices also decreased, adding to the decline in local rates.

International Gold Price Drops by $16 Per Ounce

In the international bullion market, gold prices fell by $16 per ounce to $4,165. The decline came after gold had gained $28 per ounce the previous day, reaching $4,181.

Changes in international gold prices often affect rates in Pakistan’s local bullion markets. Buyers and investors are watching these movements closely as prices continue to change.

Gold Price Falls by Rs1,600 Per Tola

In Pakistan, the price of 24-karat gold dropped by Rs1,600 per tola to Rs439,036. The price of 10 grams of gold also decreased by Rs1,372, reaching Rs376,402.

The latest reduction came after a significant increase in local gold prices a day earlier. At that time, the price per tola had risen by Rs2,800 to Rs440,636.

Silver Prices Also Decline in Local Markets

Silver prices also recorded a decline in Pakistan’s bullion markets. The price per tola fell by Rs81 to Rs6,175, while the rate for 10 grams dropped by Rs69 to Rs5,294.

The fall in both gold and silver prices has brought renewed attention to the local bullion market. Buyers may be hoping for further reductions, while investors are monitoring whether the downward trend will continue.

Previous Day’s Rise Reversed by Latest Decline

Gold had become more expensive in both international and local markets a day before the latest decrease. The international price rose to $4,181 per ounce, while the local price per tola reached Rs440,636.

The price of 10 grams of gold also increased by Rs2,401 to Rs377,774 during the previous session. The latest decline has partly reversed those gains, highlighting how quickly prices can move in either direction.

The latest fall offers some relief to people planning to buy gold or silver. However, prices remain high, and further changes will depend partly on international market movements.
