KARACHI: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-June 11th, 2026) The gold prices continued their downward trend in both international and domestic markets on Thursday, with the precious metal becoming significantly cheaper over the past several days.

Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold declined by Rs8,748, reaching Rs369,422.

Silver prices also saw a decline in the international market, where per ounce rates dropped by 40 cents to $64.10. This led to a decrease in local markets as well, with silver prices falling by Rs40 per tola to Rs6,889, while 10 grams of silver decreased by Rs36 to Rs5,857.
