KARACHI: The gold prices increased by Rs11,000 per tola to Rs488,962.
Gold gained nearly 2% globally, supported by a weaker US dollar. Softer oil prices also eased concerns over inflation and the possibility of higher-for-longer interest rates, while market sentiment improved on hopes of a potential US-Iran peace deal.
