Gold prices around the world have climbed to their highest level ever. In the international market, gold per ounce rose by $84, reaching a new record of $4,039. This sharp rise shows that investors are moving their money to gold as a safe option. Global tensions and inflation worries continue to drive the demand for the precious metal.
Gold Prices Jump in Pakistan
In Pakistan, gold prices also broke all previous records. The price of gold per tola increased by Rs8,400, reaching Rs425,178. The rate of 10 grams of gold went up by Rs7,202, now standing at Rs364,521. Many people are buying gold as an investment, while others are worried that the rising prices may make jewelry more expensive.
Reasons for the Price Increase
Experts say the rise in gold prices is due to many reasons. The falling value of the dollar, growing inflation, and weak stock markets are pushing people to buy gold. Central banks are also buying more gold to protect their reserves. This strong global demand has made gold prices jump sharply, both internationally and in local markets.
Silver Prices Also Rising
Silver is also seeing big gains. On 08 October 2025, silver was priced at $47.93 per ounce, showing a 2.3% rise. This price is close to silver’s all-time high. The increase shows that investors are also turning to silver as a safe and valuable option, along with gold, during these uncertain economic times.
