KARACHI: Gold prices broke past the Rs132,000-a-tola mark on Friday, the All Sindh Sarafa and Jewellers Association (ASSJA) said, registering record high, with prices around the world shooting up as well amid weak investor confidence in stocks over economic woes and resurgence in coronavirus cases.
The latest uptrend in the gold price in Pakistan was worth Rs2,500 per tola, compared to an increase of Rs800 a day prior. Similarly, the gold rate for 10 grammes climbed Rs2,144 to reach Rs113,169, according to the ASSJA.
On the other hand, gold prices in the international markets went up $4 an ounce to $2,054.
Analysts across the world continue predicting more gains in gold given the speed at which the yellow metal broke through $2,000-an-ounce mark a couple of days ago, leaving some in the market fearing a correction as the coronavirus crisis spurs investors to buying into bullion’s relative safety.
Gold prices on Tuesday hit $2,000 an ounce for the first time, the latest surge in a commodity seen as a refuge during economic uncertainty.
