According to APGJSA (All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association), the price for one tola of 24-karat gold has increased. This price surge comes after two days of consecutive losses for gold in the market.
Additional Insight:
The increase in gold prices in the international market has a direct correlation with the rising tensions and uncertainties in global economics, which leads to a higher demand for the precious metal. Gold is often considered a safe-haven investment during periods of economic uncertainty as it acts as a stabilizing factor in a volatile market. Furthermore, global events like geopolitical tensions, inflation, and economic fluctuations can significantly impact the supply and demand dynamics for gold and, in turn, affect its prices globally. This makes gold a highly sought-after commodity by investors worldwide. Therefore, tracking international trends and news is essential for understanding the dynamics influencing gold prices.
