Global Gold Price Rises
In the international market, gold opened at $4,319 per ounce, marking a $17 increase.
Experts attribute the rise to factors such as:
-
Shifts in global inflation expectations
-
Dollar softness
-
Strong safe-haven demand
-
Market speculation around policy decisions
International trends remain the strongest influence on gold rates in Pakistan.
Annual Gold Consumption in Pakistan
A recent Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) study found:
-
Pakistan consumes 60–90 tonnes of gold annually
-
Over 90% of gold trading occurs outside formal channels
-
Domestic supply depends heavily on imports, which totaled $17 million in FY 2023–24
-
Demand is driven largely by weddings, gifting culture, and long-term savings
This high cultural and economic dependence is why gold remains one of the most closely monitored commodities.
Final Outlook
Gold prices in Pakistan are expected to remain sensitive to:
-
Global market fluctuations
-
Dollar movement
-
Economic uncertainty
-
Local wedding-season demand
As international prices rise, the domestic market may see further adjustments, shaping buying behavior across jewelry markets and investment circles.
