According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), in the local market, the price of gold per tola after the drop reached Rs493,762. Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold decreased by Rs4,458 to Rs423,321.

Silver prices also followed a downward trajectory, falling by Rs34 to Rs8,324 per tola. Market sentiment globally was supported by a decline in benchmark 10-year US Treasury yields, which slipped by 0.2%, making non-yielding assets like gold relatively more attractive.
