Key Market Highlights:
24K Gold (Per Tola): Decreased by Rs 15,500, now at Rs 476,862.
24K Gold (10 Grams): Fell by Rs 13,289, settling at Rs 408,832.

Why the Sudden Drop?
Market analysts attribute this "bullion crash" to shifting global economic dynamics and a strengthening US dollar. Additionally, easing geopolitical tensions has reduced the immediate demand for gold as a "safe-haven" asset, leading to a sell-off in international markets that immediately reflected in Pakistan’s local sarafa markets.
Is Now the Time to Buy?
For those planning weddings or looking for long-term investment entries, this dip represents one of the most significant buying opportunities in recent months. However, experts advise staying cautious as the market remains volatile due to ongoing fluctuations in the global commodity cycle.
