KARACHI: Pakistan stocks rallied sharply on Wednesday, with the benchmark KSE-100 index surging by 3,224 points during intraday trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The benchmark index was seen trading at 183,525 points, reflecting strong investor confidence and buying momentum across key sectors in the domestic equity market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, gold prices in Pakistan fell sharply on Wednesday, plunging by Rs4,100 per tola to extend losses from the previous session, as the local bullion market tracked a steep international downturn driven by a robust US dollar and surging Treasury yields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The price of 24-karat gold in the domestic market settled at Rs424,836 ($1,525.43) per tola, according to the All Pakistan Gems and Jewelers\u2019 Association (APGJA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The price for 10 grams of the precious metal decreased by Rs3,515 to trade at Rs364,228.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Defying the downward trend in the gold market, silver posted modest gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the local market, the price of silver rose by Rs25 to reach Rs6,349 per tola, while the price for 10 grams of silver increased by Rs22 to hit Rs5,443.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This mirrored an uptick in the international market, where spot silver edged up by 25 cents to trade at $58.70 per ounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local dealers noted that the back-to-back contractions in gold prices were a direct response to a bearish international trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Tuesday, the price of 24-karat gold in the domestic market plunged by Rs4,100 per tola to settle at Rs424,836 ($1,525.43).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Monday, local tola prices had already shed Rs2,300 after international spot gold dipped to $4,065 per ounce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
