Why Has Gold Reached a Record High?
There are several key reasons why gold has crossed the Rs. 4.2 lakh mark in Pakistan:
-
Global Gold Rally: International prices have climbed as investors turn to gold amid geopolitical tensions and inflation fears.
-
Rupee Depreciation: The Pakistani rupee’s weakness against the dollar increases the local cost of gold imports.
-
High Inflation: Domestic inflation is driving more people toward gold as a safe and stable investment.
-
Limited Supply: Reduced imports and market uncertainty have created supply constraints, further pushing prices up.
Experts believe gold will remain strong in the short term, though minor corrections could occur depending on international market conditions.

Should You Buy Gold Now?
Financial experts advise caution. If you are purchasing gold for long-term investment, this could still be a good time, as global uncertainty often supports higher gold prices. However, for short-term buyers, it may be wise to wait for possible market stabilization or minor corrections.
Jewellery buyers, especially ahead of the wedding season, are feeling the pressure of higher prices — yet many continue to invest in gold due to its lasting value and cultural significance.
Final Thoughts
The gold price hitting Rs. 421,800 per tola is a strong indicator of both global and domestic economic shifts. Whether you’re an investor, a jeweller, or a household buyer, keeping track of daily gold rates is now more important than ever.
