Gold prices retreated on Saturday, tracking a decline in international spot rates that fell by $10 to reach $4,088 per ounce.
The global softening triggered immediate adjustments in local markets, where prices dropped by Rs1,000 per tola.
The move reflects a broader pullback in precious metals, continuing a trend of volatility seen earlier in the week.
Local traders adjusted valuations in line with the international downturn, signaling that the recent strength in the yellow metal is facing renewed selling pressure.
This latest decline follows a sharp correction earlier in the week, when gold prices in Pakistan fell by Rs10,400 per tola as local markets mirrored a significant downturn in international precious metals.
The recurring alignment between global spot rates and local pricing underscores the sensitivity of regional markets to international liquidity and sentiment shifts.
