Gold prices in Pakistan climbed sharply on Thursday, with the local tola rate gaining Rs9,100 to reach Rs428,736.
The surge marks a decisive reversal from the previous week's downward trend, as domestic markets tracked higher international benchmarks.
The rally follows a period of volatility in the local market.
Just days earlier, gold prices had retreated by Rs5,200 per tola on Wednesday, continuing a sharp decline that began the prior day.
On Saturday, the tola rate had dropped by Rs1,000 as domestic traders mirrored softening trends in global benchmarks.
The current uptick reflects sustained buying interest in international markets, which has quickly offset recent local losses.
