Gold price registers another drop in Pakistan

Gold price, gold price in Pakistan, gold rate

The gold price has registered another drop of Rs650 per tola to settle at Rs 215,850 per tola in Pakistan on Thursday.

The price of 24-karat gold has decreased by Rs650 to settle at Rs215,850 per tola.

The association said after a decline of Rs557, 10 grams of 24-karat gold has settled at Rs185,057, the state news agency quoted the All Pakistan Gems and Jewelers Association (APGJA).

The price of gold in the international market has decreased by $6.

On the other hand, gold prices edged up on Thursday as the US dollar ticked lower, but the bullion lacked the impetus to move higher as investors remained on the sidelines in holiday-thinned trading and an uncertainty around the Federal Reserve’s upcoming rate path, according to Reuters.

Spot gold was up 0.1% at $1,992.36 per ounce, as of 1041 GMT, after hitting a three-week high of $2,007.29 on Tuesday. U.S. gold futures were steady at $1,993.30.

“Absent any fresh influences, I still don’t think that gold has the momentum to maintain prices much above $2,000 for the rest of the year,” said StoneX analyst Rhona O’Connell.

“Underlying forces are still supportive for the longer term (geopolitics, especially the Middle East and the probability of further banking stresses in the States and elsewhere), but unless either or both of these escalate, we are likely to see prices drift.”

Supporting gold, the dollar was down 0.3% against its rivals. Meanwhile, the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yields closed at a two-month low on Wednesday.

Lower interest rates decrease the opportunity cost of holding gold.

Trading is expected to be thin with most markets in the U.S. closed for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...

Faisal Vawda foresees imminent sacking of a provincial governor

ISLAMABAD: Senator Faisal Vawda hinted at the removal of one of the provincial governors very soon. Speaking during the ARY News program, Senator Faisla Vawda said on Friday, “A provincial governor will be in troubled waters soon and his time is up. Without mentioning the name, Faisla Vawda said the governor in question has been selling his name, making money, and telling lies, now his turn has come, and he has to go home soon”. Vawda predicted that the governor’s removal would occur within the next week or two months but he will surely be removed from his post.

CDA removes golden hands sculpture in Islamabad after online backlash

ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Monday removed a recently installed ‘Golden Hands’ sculpture located along Margalla Avenue in Islamabad. The artwork featured two large golden hands holding two balls like objects resembling a world map. Installed by a private developer, the sculpture quickly gained widespread attention on social media, sparking debate, memes, and a wave of speculation over its symbolism. Soon after its installation, the monument became the subject of intense online discussion. Social media users assigned various meanings to the structure with many interpreting it as a symbol of Pakistan’s rising global presence while others saw it as an ambitious but misplaced artistic expression. Amid the growing online buzz, CDA officials reportedly sprang into action. Initially, the sculpture was covered with cloth in an apparent attempt to minimize public reaction. Later, the structure was dismantled and removed using heavy machinery and labour teams. The ...
