Why Gold Prices Are Falling in Pakistan
Gold is often considered a “safe haven,” but when economic indicators improve, investors shift toward higher-return assets.
Recent economic gains — especially foreign inflows and stock market performance — have reduced demand for gold, triggering a price correction.
Market analysts note that easing inflationary pressures, stronger currency sentiment, and a revived stock market have contributed to the downward trend.

IMF Loan Approval Boosts Economic Confidence
Pakistan’s financial stability received a major lift earlier in the week after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved a $1.3 billion loan tranche.
Breakdown of disbursement:
-
Over $1 billion under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF)
-
More than $20 million under the Rapid Financing Instrument (RFAF)
-
Total IMF disbursement so far: $3.3 billion
These inflows are expected to enhance foreign exchange reserves, strengthen market sentiment, and support essential fiscal reforms.
How Global Gold Prices Are Moving
The international gold market also recorded a moderate decline, with prices falling by $12 per ounce.
Analysts predict increased volatility in global bullion markets as interest rates, inflation expectations, and geopolitical developments continue to shift.
Final Outlook
Gold prices in Pakistan are likely to remain sensitive to:
-
Local currency movements
-
International bullion trends
-
Investor confidence
-
Economic policy developments
With the stock market soaring and foreign financing secured, investors may continue shifting from gold toward equities — keeping downward pressure on gold rates in the short term.
