(Web Desk) – Gold prices recorded a sharp increase in both international and domestic markets on Saturday, March 7, 2026, resuming an upward trend after a brief four-day hiatus.
In the international bullion market, the price per ounce rose by $61 to reach $5,171, driven by investor flight to safe-haven assets amid escalating regional uncertainties, including the ongoing Iran-Israel-US war dynamics and related market volatility.
Locally in Pakistan, the price per tola of gold climbed Rs6,100 to Rs539,862. The rate for 10 grams also advanced by Rs5,230, settling at Rs462,844.
Silver followed suit with modest gains: per tola silver increased by Rs17 to Rs8,931, while the 10-gram rate rose Rs14 to Rs7,656.
Analysts attribute the rebound to persistent safe-haven demand amid global economic concerns and geopolitical risks in the Middle East.
