Global Gold Price Update
In the international market, gold opened at $4,207 per ounce, down $12 from the previous session.
Analysts expect global volatility to continue as markets respond to interest rate expectations, geopolitical factors, and currency shifts.
Annual Gold Consumption in Pakistan
A recent Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) assessment reveals:
-
Pakistan consumes 60 to 90 tonnes of gold annually
-
Over 90% of gold trading happens outside formal channels
-
Pakistan imported $17 million worth of gold in FY 2023–24
-
Most gold demand is driven by weddings, gifts, and cultural traditions
The study also highlights the potential impact of the Reko Diq copper-gold project, projected to generate up to $74 billion over its 37-year lifespan — a development that could reshape Pakistan’s domestic supply chain and reduce reliance on imported gold.
To strengthen regulatory oversight, CCP has recommended creating a Pakistan Gold & Gemstone Authority, which would streamline licensing, imports, AML compliance, and market transparency.
Final Outlook
Gold prices in Pakistan remain stable for now, but future movements will depend on:
-
International bullion trends
-
Dollar strength
-
Economic policy decisions
-
Consumer buying patterns during peak wedding season
With gold deeply woven into Pakistan’s cultural and economic identity, even small changes in price can have wide-ranging effects on markets and households.
