Meanwhile, international gold prices also recorded a modest gain, rising by $13 to settle at $4,538 per ounce as global markets moved higher.
The uptick in global bullion markets was reflected in domestic prices, as traders and investors returned with renewed confidence following the cautious post-Eid session on Friday.
With fresh buying interest emerging across the market, activity picked up noticeably compared to the subdued session of the previous day.
Gaining Momentum Post-Eid
Saturday’s recovery follows a marginal decline on Friday, May 29, when gold prices had slipped by Rs. 500 per tola to settle at Rs. 474,862 as domestic markets reopened after the Eid ul Adha holidays with subdued trading activity. International gold had also edged lower by $5 to settle at $4,525 per ounce on that day.

Prior to the Eid holiday, gold had seen a turbulent pre-festival period. The last pre-Eid session on Tuesday, May 26, had seen prices dip by Rs. 2,400 per tola to settle at Rs. 475,362. Before that, gold had surged powerfully by Rs. 4,600 per tola on Monday, May 25, to settle at Rs. 477,762, as international markets rebounded strongly.
Near All-Time High Levels
Saturday’s gain pushes gold prices back toward the upper end of their recent range, keeping the metal within striking distance of all-time highs in Pakistan. Gold prices have been on a significant upward trajectory over the past year, with domestic prices repeatedly breaking records in line with surging international rates driven by global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions.

Market watchers will be closely monitoring international developments in the coming sessions to gauge whether gold can push toward fresh record highs or faces another period of consolidation.
With global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions continuing to support demand for safe-haven assets, gold remains well positioned at current levels heading into the new trading week.
