The prices compiled by the ASSJA come with a lag of a day after changes in international prices. Pakistani traders adjust gold prices based on price movements in the international market and fluctuation in the dollar rates as well as market forces of demand and supply.
Last year, gold prices increased 20%, according to data compiled by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics. This rise in gold price is in line with international trend as gold prices have reached a nine-month high in the international market. When this report went online, gold futures were trading at $1,345 per ounce in the international market.
