Gold prices are maintaining their upward trajectory as global trade uncertainties and evolving central bank reserve strategies continue to fuel safe-haven demand.
The precious metal has seen sustained buying interest, with prices in key markets like Pakistan jumping significantly per tola as the international rally extends.
This momentum reflects a broader shift in investor sentiment toward tangible assets amid geopolitical friction.
The backdrop to this rally includes heightened transatlantic trade tensions, with President Donald Trump threatening to impose steep tariffs on countries maintaining digital services taxes on American firms.
Such policy risks are reinforcing the appeal of gold as a hedge against currency volatility and trade disruption.
Meanwhile, central banks are increasingly diversifying their holdings, with some shifting toward platinum and others stabilizing currencies amid a surge in digital gold adoption.
