Karachi: Gold prices have dropped significantly both locally and internationally in a clear change in the precious metal market. The local market’s gold price dropped 900 rupees, therefore bringing the new price to 298,700 rupees per tola. Likewise, the cost of ten grammes of gold dropped 772 rupees and came out to 256,087.

The declining tendency extended beyond the local market. Gold prices fell internationally as well, dropping 9 dollars to 2,859 dollars per ounce. This movement in gold prices captures changes in world demand and supply as well as more general dynamics of the market.

Analysts propose that changes in investor attitude towards other asset classes, a stronger US currency, or lower geopolitical tensions might be the reasons for the declining gold prices. Still, the precious metal is a major gauge of economic stability, and dealers and investors all over keep a careful eye on its price swings.
