Gold and silver prices continued their upward trend in both international and local markets, with gold reaching another historic level in Pakistan. The latest increase has pushed the price of gold per tola to a new record high, creating fresh concerns for buyers and investors.

According to market data, the international bullion market witnessed another major rise on Wednesday, with gold prices increasing by $46 per ounce. Following the surge, the global gold price reached $4,114 per ounce, reflecting continued strength in the precious metals market.

The impact of rising international prices was also seen in Pakistan’s local bullion markets. The price of 24-carat gold increased by Rs. 4,600 per tola, bringing the new rate to Rs. 433,836 per tola. This marks another significant jump in gold prices after gains were also recorded in the previous trading session.

Similarly, the price of gold per 10 grams increased by Rs. 3,944, reaching Rs. 371,944 in local markets. The continuous rise has made gold increasingly expensive for consumers, particularly those planning weddings, investments, or savings through precious metals.

Silver prices also recorded an increase alongside gold. The price of silver per tola rose by Rs. 7, reaching Rs. 6,403, while the price of 10 grams of silver increased by Rs. 6 to Rs. 5,489.

Market analysts link the rise in precious metal prices to global economic factors, including investor demand for safe-haven assets, international market trends, and fluctuations affecting commodity prices. Gold is often considered a secure investment during periods of uncertainty, which can increase demand and push prices higher.

The latest increase continues a trend of rising gold prices in recent days, with both global and local markets showing strong momentum. Traders and investors are closely monitoring international developments as further changes in global markets could influence gold and silver rates in Pakistan.

With gold prices reaching unprecedented levels, consumers are advised to keep track of daily market updates before making major purchases. The bullion market remains sensitive to international price movements, currency changes, and economic conditions that can quickly impact local rates.

    Peru and Mexico resume diplomatic relations after political dispute

    ByJustpaste.in

    The diplomatic break occurred when Mexico granted political asylum to former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chavez, who faced conspiracy charges regarding former President Pedro Castillo’s 2022 attempt to dissolve Congress. As part of the bilateral agreement to restore relations, Peru granted Chavez safe-conduct guarantees under the 1954 Caracas Convention on Diplomatic Asylum, enabling her to leave the Mexican Embassy in Lima and travel to Mexico. Peruvian Foreign Minister Carlos Espa confirmed she departed in good health. The Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintained that no political persecution exists in the country and stated that granting safe-conduct does not waive Peru’s legal right to request Chavez’s extradition in the future. The diplomatic rapprochement follows commitments made by newly elected Peruvian President Keiko Fujimori ahead of her inauguration to normalize ties with Mexico, an initiative welcomed by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

    KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is undergoing medical examinations and procedures, with his aide saying he is expected to remain under observation for two days. Anwar’s Press Secretary Tunku Nashrul Abaidah confirmed the development on Monday but did not disclose details about the nature of the medical procedures or the condition that prompted them. In a statement, the aide said Anwar was undergoing examinations and procedures arranged by a team of medical experts. The statement also appealed for prayers for the premier’s health and expressed hope that he would be able to return to his regular duties soon. “Let us pray … that he is blessed with long-lasting health so that he can return to his usual duties in the near future,” the statement said. The news prompted a message of support from Pakistan, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif wishing his Malaysian counterpart a swift recovery. “Wishing my dear brother, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, a swift and smooth recovery during his medical procedures,” Shehbaz wrote in a post on X. He added that the people of Pakistan were joining him in praying for Anwar’s continued good health and well-being, reflecting the close ties between the two countries. Anwar, who turned 79 on Monday, has served as Malaysia’s prime minister since 2022. His current medical observation has drawn attention partly because of previous health issues involving his back and shoulder. The Malaysian leader was hospitalised in 2018 after experiencing shoulder and back pain. More recently, he cancelled a planned visit to Pahang state in November last year because of back discomfort. Despite those previous problems, Anwar received a clean bill of health following a routine medical examination in January, according to a statement from the hospital where the check-up was conducted. The latest announcement has not indicated that Anwar is facing any serious health condition. Officials have also not provided details about when he is expected to leave medical care or resume his full schedule. For now, the Malaysian government and Anwar’s supporters are awaiting further updates from his medical team. His aide’s statement sought to reassure the public while asking for prayers as the veteran politician undergoes the procedures. Anwar’s health is closely watched as he continues to lead Malaysia through a period of economic and political challenges, making his expected return to official duties a matter of considerable public interest.

    POTOHAR: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has approved an ambitious plan to construct 800 mini dams across the Potohar region over the next three years, marking one of the province’s largest initiatives aimed at improving rainwater storage and tackling water scarcity. The decision was taken during a high-level meeting on water conservation and groundwater management, where officials briefed the Chief Minister on ongoing efforts to protect Punjab’s water resources. Authorities informed the meeting that 110 mini dams have already been completed across the province, contributing to improved water preservation. The new project is expected to add storage capacity of approximately 32,000 acre-feet of rainwater, strengthening water security for agriculture and local communities. Maryam Nawaz also directed officials to prepare a comprehensive strategy for developing natural and artificial water bodies while calling for stronger legislation to regulate groundwater use. To improve oversight, dedicated personnel will be assigned to monitor water conservation initiatives. The chief minister instructed the agriculture, irrigation, housing and local government departments to work together to ensure the effective implementation of water-saving measures. Officials presented photographic evidence of recently completed mini dams in Attock, Talagang, Gujar Khan and Rawalpindi, highlighting progress already made in the region. During the briefing, authorities revealed that Punjab has developed a strategy to minimise water losses, which currently stand at around 30 per cent during distribution and 25 per cent during consumption. They also reported that the lining of 2,600 watercourses covering nearly 7,000 kilometres has already delivered significant water savings. Over the next three years, another 4,500 watercourses stretching 11,500 kilometres will be upgraded. The meeting was informed that high-efficiency irrigation systems have already conserved around 18,000 acre-feet of water while boosting crop productivity by nearly 50 per cent. The government now plans to extend modern drip and sprinkler irrigation systems to an additional 30,000 acres. Officials further stated that 100 groundwater recharge wells are already operational in the Gujranwala, Gujrat and Lahore divisions, with another 300 nearing completion to strengthen groundwater reserves. The chief minister also reviewed the availability of fertilisers across Punjab and approved the provision of 1,000 new laser land levellers to farmers at a 50 per cent subsidy during the current financial year to promote efficient farming practices. In a separate meeting on law and order, Maryam Nawaz directed authorities to adopt a zero-tolerance approach against rape, child abuse and corruption. She was also informed that the Safe City Project has now been implemented in all 43 districts of Punjab and is expected to be inaugurated soon, further enhancing public safety and surveillance across the province.

    Bilawal hits back at Nawaz: Kashmiris ‘ not rea…

    ByJustpaste.in

    PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Sunday delivered a sharp riposte to PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, declaring that the people of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) are “not ready to bargain away their rights”  whether in Kashmir or Mirpur . The exchange comes a day before the first phase of elections in AJK, with Mirpur set to vote on Monday, and amid allegations of pre-poll rigging by the PPP after the PML-N gifted 10 e-buses to Muzaffarabad . In a recent campaign speech, Nawaz had invoked Bilawal by name, stating that Kashmir should not be mistaken for Kashmir, nor Mirpur for Mirpurkhas the districts of Sindh where the PPP has been in power for years . Responding via a video statement on social media, Bilawal began with a pointed, “Mian sahib, please don’t take offence,” while tagging Nawaz’s X account . “Whether it’s Kashmir or Kashmir, Mirpur or Mirpurkhas, not only do their names resemble each other; their temperament matches too, their honour matches too, and so does the courage to stand up for their rights,” Bilawal said . The PPP chairman emphasized that neither Kashmiris nor the people of Mirpurkhas would allow anyone to “rob them politically of their right to governance and right to ownership.” He reiterated his commitment to securing for the people of Kashmir the rights to governance, ownership, and employment “the same rights that every Pakistani citizen is entitled to.” Bilawal added that if these fundamental rights were ensured, “they won’t need gifts of this sort. They will arrange their own development,” a clear reference to the PML-N’s e-bus initiative . Urging his supporters to turn out in large numbers on polling day, Bilawal concluded with a defiant slogan: “Progress too! Authority too! Employment too! And Kashmir’s decision by Kashmiris!” The war of words underscores the high political stakes in the AJK elections, with both major parties locked in a fierce contest for control of the region .
