Gold prices in Pakistan climbed for a second consecutive day on Friday, driven by sustained strength in international bullion markets.
The local per tola rate jumped Rs12,200 in the session, continuing the upward momentum that began the previous day.
The sharp increase marks a decisive reversal from the downward trend seen earlier in the week.
On Thursday, the local tola rate had already gained Rs9,100 to reach Rs428,736, as domestic markets began tracking higher global benchmarks.
Friday's session extended that move, with traders citing broader international market strength as the primary catalyst.
The All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Association confirmed the gains, noting that the local premium remained aligned with global spot prices.
