Gold rates decline by Rs1,000 per tola

Gold prices continued to fall in bullion markets across Pakistan on Wednesday. The latest decline provided some relief to buyers as local rates moved lower.

According to the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Association, the price of gold decreased by Rs1,000 per tola. The new price was recorded at Rs426,436 per tola.

The decline was also seen in the price of 10-gram gold. Its rate fell by Rs857. The price reached Rs365,600.

The latest reduction comes amid continued movement in gold prices in both local and international markets. Gold rates in Pakistan are influenced by global prices, currency movements and trends in the domestic bullion market.

The international market also recorded a decline. The price of gold fell by $10 per ounce and reached $4,040 per ounce.

The fall in international prices has also contributed to the downward movement in domestic gold rates. Local jewellers and traders closely monitor global prices when determining daily gold rates.

Gold remains a popular investment and savings option in Pakistan. Changes in its price can affect both investors and consumers planning to purchase jewellery.

The latest decline may offer some relief to customers who have been facing higher gold prices. However, market rates can change quickly depending on international developments and currency fluctuations.

Jewellers are expected to continue monitoring the international bullion market. Any major movement in global gold prices could have a direct impact on domestic rates in the coming days.

For now, the latest figures show a downward trend in gold prices in Pakistan. The per-tola rate has fallen by Rs1,000, while the price of 10 grams has declined by Rs857.

    Aleema Khan predicts PTI supporters may take stree…

    Aleema Khan, sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, has said that people may take to the streets before September 27 as political developments continue to unfold. Speaking to the media along with Imran Khan’s sisters at the Factory Check Post near Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, Aleema said the situation was changing rapidly. She said she believed people could come out before the September 27 date. She also claimed that she had heard the date of a planned protest had been changed to August 14. Aleema also raised concerns about reports regarding Imran Khan’s health. She said various reports were circulating about his condition but the family had not been provided with sufficient information. She questioned reports suggesting that Imran Khan had a blood pressure problem. Aleema said no one in their family had such an issue and questioned how a double dose of medication could have been administered to someone who did not suffer from the condition. She said the family had never discussed politics after meeting Imran Khan. Aleema added that they agreed with remarks by Sohail Afridi that family members should be allowed to meet him without turning the meetings into political discussions. According to Aleema, Imran Khan is their brother and his message is important to the family. She said mentioning the name of a government official should not automatically be considered political activity. Imran Khan’s sister Noreen Niazi also said that political matters should not be attached to the family’s meetings with him. She said the family would avoid naming officials during such meetings. Aleema said a three-member bench of the high court had already issued a decision regarding meetings with Imran Khan. She questioned why the family should submit a request to the jail superintendent when a court order was already in place. She also described PTI as a democratic political party. She said disagreements and differences within a political party were normal and should not necessarily be viewed as a major crisis. Family raises concerns over Imran Khan’s health Noreen Niazi said the September 27 date remained in place, while a separate call had been given for a gathering at D-Chowk on August 14. Aleema said she had no information about the alleged audio recording involving PTI leader Salman Akram Raja and Mashal Yousafzai. She said the decision to give a protest call was the responsibility of the party and that the party had issued the call. Aleema said the family had only one major demand regarding Imran Khan’s health. She called for him to be shifted to a hospital and treated by his personal doctor. Another sister, Uzma Khan, said the family was unable to confirm or deny reports about Imran Khan’s health because they did not have sufficient information about his condition.

    Saudi airstrikes on Hodeidah trigger Houthi warning, raising regional tensions

    Saudi Arabia’s airstrikes on the Houthi-controlled Yemeni city of Hodeidah have triggered a strong response from the group, with the Houthis warning that the attacks could have serious consequences and further escalate tensions in the region. According to Arab media reports, Houthi officials said Saudi-led forces targeted telecommunications facilities in Hodeidah as well as Kamaran Island. A woman was reportedly injured in the strike on Kamaran Island. Witnesses also reported hearing explosions near Hodeidah port. However, the Saudi-led military coalition denied targeting the port itself. The coalition said its operations were aimed at Houthi military positions in Hodeidah. Hodeidah port is a major commercial and humanitarian gateway for northern Yemen. The port plays an important role in bringing essential goods and humanitarian supplies into areas controlled by the Houthis. The latest strikes followed growing tensions in the Red Sea. Saudi-led coalition spokesman Turki al-Malki had described recent Houthi activities in the area as irresponsible and provocative. He warned that the coalition would take further military action if Houthi attacks continued. The Houthis recently claimed responsibility for attacks on Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea. The group said the vessels had violated a naval blockade it had announced against Saudi Arabia. The Houthis declared the blockade on July 20. They described it as a response to an attack on Sanaa International Airport a week earlier. The internationally recognised Yemeni government, which is backed by Saudi Arabia, claimed responsibility for the airport attack. It said the strike was carried out after an Iranian aircraft allegedly arrived at the airport without authorisation. Following the latest escalation, concerns are growing over the impact on commercial shipping and global trade. Two Chinese oil tankers carrying Saudi crude reportedly crossed the Bab el-Mandeb Strait safely despite the heightened tensions. The Red Sea is a crucial international shipping route. It handles a significant share of global container trade and connects major markets between Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Any prolonged disruption to shipping in the Red Sea could increase transportation costs and put further pressure on global supply chains. The situation is particularly sensitive because the Strait of Hormuz is also facing serious disruption amid the wider regional conflict. Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam said the group’s naval blockade does not amount to a complete closure of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. He said the measure is specifically focused on maritime activity linked to Saudi Arabia. According to the Houthi position, the blockade is intended as a response to what the group describes as the continued blockade of Yemen. The latest exchange of airstrikes, threats and attacks on shipping has increased fears that the conflict could spread further across the region.

    Rana slams Naqvi’s ‘confusing’ provinces rem…

    Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s Adviser on Political Affairs, Rana Sanaullah, said it was true that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had instructed party leaders not to respond to Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi’s recent statements. He added that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) strongly disagreed with both the content and tone of Naqvi’s remarks. Speaking on a television programme, Rana Sanaullah described Mohsin Naqvi’s comments as “meaningless” and lacking context. He said he had listened to Naqvi’s speech but could not understand what message he was trying to convey. “It appeared that he wanted to make a significant point but failed to explain it properly. Once he made the statement, his subsequent remarks contradicted one another. I simply could not understand what he was saying or why he was saying it,” Rana Sanaullah said. He stressed that whenever a person makes a public statement, it reflects their personal opinion, adding that it was up to Mohsin Naqvi to clarify the intent behind his remarks and take responsibility for their interpretation. Responding to Naqvi’s proposal regarding the creation of new administrative units or provinces, Rana Sanaullah said such matters could not be decided merely through public statements. “You cannot simply talk about new provinces and expect them to come into existence. The Constitution clearly defines the procedure for creating new provinces or administrative units,” he said. He maintained that the issue should first be debated in Parliament, while the final decision would rest with the leadership of the political parties. Rana Sanaullah recalled that during the PML-N government in Punjab from 2013 to 2018, the party had formally proposed the creation of new provinces. He said he had personally presented both the resolution and the proposal for establishing a commission to examine the matter. He explained that a national commission would have to be formed to review all aspects of creating new provinces, including financial resources, administrative arrangements and constitutional requirements. “The commission would also need to consult on representation in the National Assembly, provincial assemblies and the Senate. This is a highly complex issue that requires serious deliberation by experienced policymakers,” he said. Rana Sanaullah added that Pakistan could adopt smaller provinces, a stronger local government system, or even both, but such decisions should be made collectively by political parties after thorough consultation

    Independence Day stalls bring festive rush

    With Pakistan’s 79th Independence Day approaching, markets across the city have come alive with stalls selling national flags, badges, flag-themed clothes, toys, caps, horns and other decorative items. Vendors have set up stalls at major commercial centres, markets, streets and residential areas. Children, youngsters and families are visiting these stalls to buy flags, badges, dupattas, ladies’ suits and children’s outfits featuring the national colours. Large and small horns remain among the most popular items, particularly among children and students. However, the continuous and often extremely loud “pee-pee” sounds have disturbed residents in several neighbourhoods, affecting their peace and sleep. Youngsters and children have also been setting off firecrackers, including Chinese-made varieties, adding to the noise in residential areas. Rising inflation has also pushed up the prices of Independence Day items, with vendors saying the cost of flags and flag-themed clothing has nearly doubled. Large horns that produce particularly loud sounds are selling for around Rs150 to Rs200.
