Pakistan’s gold price goes up to an all-time high.

After the rupee fell to a new low against the US dollar on the exchange market, the price of gold in Pakistan jumped to an all-time high and went above Rs215,000 per tola.

The rise was in line with the movement of the rupee, which fell to an all-time low of Rs287.85 against the US dollar on the exchange market, and with a general trend of the markets going up around the world.

All-Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association (APSGJA) said that the price of 24k gold went up by Rs2,500 per tola and Rs2,142 per 10 grams to Rs217,000 and Rs186,042 respectively.
