Meanwhile, the price of one tola of gold climbed sharply by Rs 10,900, pushing it beyond Rs 532,062 the highest level ever recorded in the country.

This steep increase marks a historic moment for Pakistan’s gold market, as prices crossed half a million rupees per tola, a level once thought unimaginable.

The surge is not limited to the local market. In the international bullion market, gold prices rose by $109 per ounce, settling at $5,097 per ounce. Analysts say the rally reflects growing global uncertainty, fears of inflation, and a strong shift by investors toward safe-haven assets.

Economic experts note that when confidence in markets weakens, gold often becomes a shelter for worried investors. As global tensions and financial concerns continue to simmer, demand for gold has gained fresh momentum.

However, the rapid rise has put ordinary buyers under pressure, especially families planning weddings. Jewellers report a visible drop in customer traffic, as many people delay purchases in hopes of better prices.

Market sources warn that if current global trends persist, gold prices may continue to swing sharply in the coming days. For now, gold remains strong, scarce, and firmly in the spotlight.
