🚨 #GoldandSilverHitNewHighs
On Jan 19, 2026, gold and silver surged to all-time or near-record highs, as investors flock to safe-haven assets amid global uncertainty. Meanwhile, Bitcoin behaved differently.
📊 Current Prices (Approx):
🌍 International Spot:
Gold: ~$4,663/oz ⬆️ All-time high
Silver: ~$92.93/oz ⬆️ Near record
🇵🇰 Pakistan Market:
Gold per tola: ~Rs 481,000+
Gold per 10 g: ~Rs 413,000+
Silver per tola: ~Rs 9,400+
💡 Why Prices Are Surging:
1️⃣ Geopolitical Tensions – Trade disputes & instability push investors to metals.
2️⃣ Weak USD & Currency Pressure – Metals cheaper for non-USD holders, protecting wealth.
3️⃣ Risk-Off Sentiment – Stocks weaken, metals shine.
4️⃣ Inflation Hedge – Metals safeguard against currency devaluation.
