KARACHI: Gold prices in Pakistan fell on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, in line with a downward trend in the international bullion market amid evolving geopolitical developments.

Meanwhile, silver prices in the local market also recorded a decline, with the per tola rate falling by Rs45 to Rs7,766 from Rs7,811.

Market analysts attributed the fluctuations in bullion prices to shifting geopolitical conditions and ongoing diplomatic developments, particularly involving the United States and Iran, as efforts toward de-escalation continue.

Analysts maintain a positive long-term outlook for gold, citing its role as a safe-haven asset during periods of economic and geopolitical uncertainty. They note that gold continues to attract investors due to its intrinsic value, limited supply, and independence from government policy, making it a reliable hedge against inflation, currency depreciation, and market volatility.

Historically, geopolitical tensions and financial instability have driven investors toward bullion and away from riskier assets such as equities and speculative currencies.

Gold remains not only a traditional ornamental commodity but also a key financial safe haven, with demand typically rising during periods of global uncertainty.
