Gold prices in Pakistan jumped significantly on Friday, with the per tola rate gaining Rs12,200 in a session that mirrored broader international market strength.
The surge marks a continuation of the upward momentum that has characterized the precious metal's performance in the region over the past few days.
The local market's reaction reflects the persistent global rally in gold, which has been driven by a combination of safe-haven demand and currency dynamics.
Domestic traders and investors are closely tracking these moves as the local price adjusts to international benchmarks.
This latest gain follows a sharp increase on Thursday, when the per tola rate had already climbed Rs9,100 to reach Rs428,736.
That previous move represented a decisive reversal from the downward trend seen in the preceding week, signaling a shift in market sentiment.
