Earlier on Tuesday, gold prices in Pakistan rose in line with gains in the international market, though the metal remains on track for its steepest monthly decline since October 2008 amid inflation concerns and expectations of higher interest rates due to the Iran war.

In the local market, gold per tola increased by Rs2,800 to Rs478,762, while the rate for 10 grams rose by Rs2,401 to Rs410,461, according to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association. The increase follows Monday’s rise of Rs3,900, highlighting continued volatility.

Spot gold climbed 2.2% to $4,608.16 per ounce, hitting its highest level since March 20, while US futures gained 1.8% to $4,639. Despite the uptick, gold remains under monthly pressure as higher rate expectations dampen demand for the non-yielding asset.
