🌍 Global Market Overview
- International gold prices hovered around $4,010 per ounce early Thursday, supported by renewed safe-haven interest amid ongoing U.S. government fiscal concerns and global market uncertainty.
- The U.S. dollar weakened slightly overnight, making gold more affordable for non-dollar holders and helping prices stabilize above the $4,000 mark.
- Analysts at major commodity desks note that the Federal Reserve’s cautious tone on rate cuts continues to influence sentiment, as traders await key economic data this week.
🇵🇰 Domestic Market Insights
- In Pakistan, gold prices continue to mirror the international trend, with adjustments linked closely to the USD/PKR exchange rate, currently steady near PKR 282.60.
- Local demand remains firm, especially with the ongoing wedding season boosting retail jewellery purchases.
- Dealers report consistent buying activity across Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi, while investors maintain positions in anticipation of another potential global rally.
💡 Market Sentiment & Outlook
- Buyers: Gold remains a valuable long-term hedge against inflation. However, for short-term buyers, current prices are stable — waiting for small dips could prove advantageous.
- Sellers/Investors: With rates still near record levels, this remains a favorable environment for partial profit-taking, especially for investors who entered before mid-October’s surge.
- Analysts’ View: The medium-term outlook stays bullish, but short-term corrections are possible if the rupee strengthens or the global economy shows signs of recovery.
