Everyone is busy talking about the increasing prices of petrol, electricity, and chilgozay, etc but there is something else that is going beyond our pocket limit waisei limit mein tau pehle bhi nahien tha but it gave us a feeling of satisfaction to know ‘this thing’ is still not expensive. Par aisa sirf soch ja sakta hai when Pakistanis were trying to cop up with petrol prices another commodity was trying to get to the sky. Any guesses…? Come on……it’s gold! Things have come to the point that sona ab sotay huay he khareeda ja sakta hai.
After chilgozay, gold has also made it to the list of ‘paise bohat hain par gold par paise kon waste karay.’ The question that keeps pestering us is why the prices of gold are increasing frequently? Who will buy gold at these prices? Bill Gates is definitely not going to land in Pakistan every month to buy gold.
In Pakistan, gold prices have been increased by Rs 50. Previously, the price of gold per tola was Rs128,750 and after the hike the price of gold per tola is Rs128,800. The price of gold per 10 grams has been raised by Rs 43 to Rs110,425. With the increase in gold prices, silver has also incurred a price hike. The per tola rate of silver has increased by Rs 10 to Rs1,480.
However, here we can’t blame the government for not controlling the prices of gold. As in the international market, gold is being sold at high rates which is in turn causing an increase in the rates of gold in the domestic market. Moreover, the pandemic and depreciation of the Pakistani currency are sonay pe suhaga.
With all this bad news we do have a piece of good news for you as well. Believe us it will make you so happy that you’ll start dancing. Dubai market is still taking the lead with skyrocketing gold prices. Pakistan tau abhi sasta baich raha hai Dubai ko dekha hai? Isn’t it good news? Pakistan has beaten Dubai by Rs 4000. Just imagine people living in Dubai don’t even have the choice of saving Rs 4000 on gold.
It is important to note that amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the prices of gold are expected to escalate even more tau yeh tau trailer hai agay agay dekhain hota hai kiya. But we still hope things turn out otherwise.
