The price of gold in local markets has significantly decreased, reflecting a drop in international gold prices. On Friday, the price of 24-carat gold per tola fell by Rs2,500, bringing it down to Rs284,700.

As a result, the price of gold per ten grams also saw a decrease of Rs2,144, settling at Rs244,084.
