Global markets added fuel to the fire as international gold prices leapt by $37 to $4,509 per ounce, supported by a premium of $20. Silver also joined the rally, with local prices jumping Rs270 to settle at Rs8,465 per tola.
On the global stage, spot gold rose 0.5 percent to $4,496.09 per ounce by early afternoon US trading, putting it on course for a nearly 4 percent weekly gain. The metal recently touched a historic peak of $4,549.71 on December 26, highlighting strong demand for safe-haven assets. Meanwhile, US gold futures for February delivery closed 0.9 percent higher at $4,500.90.
The rally was driven in part by weaker-than-expected US employment data, as December’s non-farm payrolls rose by just 50,000, falling short of forecasts. At the same time, the US unemployment rate slipped to 4.4 percent, reinforcing expectations of easing monetary conditions and further boosting gold’s appeal.
