Gold prices in Pakistan saw a sharp decline for the second straight session on Monday, reflecting a global dip in the precious metals market.

According to data released by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association, the price of 24-karat gold per tola fell by Rs2,500, bringing it down to Rs353,000. Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold dropped by Rs2,143, settling at Rs302,640.

The decline mirrors a global trend, where the international gold price saw a notable decrease of $25 per ounce, dropping to $3,310. Analysts link the fall to shifting investor sentiment, stronger currency markets, and speculation around interest rate movements by major central banks.

Silver prices also declined in local markets. The price of 24-karat silver per tola dropped by Rs30 to Rs3,841, while the rate for 10 grams slid to Rs3,293.

Experts suggest that uncertainty in the global economy, along with profit-taking by investors, contributed to the downturn in gold prices. Market watchers expect continued volatility in the short term as traders closely monitor monetary policies and inflation figures.
