For the first time in history, the global price of gold has crossed the $4,000 per ounce mark.
According to news agencies, the surge in gold prices is attributed to ongoing global economic and geopolitical uncertainties, prompting investors to seek safe-haven assets. Anticipation of an interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve is also cited as a contributing factor to the rise in gold prices.
Data shows that in 2025 alone, the global gold price has increased by 52 percent, following a 27 percent rise in 2024.
The trend is reflected in Pakistan as well, where the price of gold has continued to climb. Recently, the rate for one tola rose by PKR 1,500, reaching PKR 416,778.
Analysts suggest that gold’s status as a stable investment during periods of economic uncertainty and fluctuating currencies continues to drive demand, further supporting the upward trajectory of its prices worldwide.
