Likewise, the rate of 10 grams of the precious metal decreased by Rs659 to Rs98,165, according to the Chairman All Pakistan Jewelers Association Muhamad Arshad.
On the other hand in the international market, a Reuters report said that gold prices rose on Tuesday as a weaker dollar and a fresh wave of coronavirus infections threatened to further slow down a global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, bolstering bullion’s safe-haven appeal.
