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 and regional momentum.
The move aligns with a broader recovery across South Asia.
In India, gold prices also surged by ₹3,000 to reach ₹1.47 lakh per 10 grams on Thursday, marking a decisive rebound from recent lows.
The sharp recovery in both markets was fueled by a weakening US dollar and supportive trends in international precious metals trading.
For investors and consumers in Pakistan, the rapid appreciation underscores the sensitivity of local gold rates to global currency fluctuations and external market sentiment.
