Internationally, gold prices dipped 0.2% to $4,084.29 per ounce, while US gold futures for December delivery rose slightly by 0.9% to $4,100.90. Analysts attribute the mixed movement to a stronger US dollar and investor caution ahead of key inflation data.

“Gold’s decline reflects investor confidence shifting towards the dollar as global inflation fears ease,” said a local jeweller in Karachi. “However, if the US data signals higher inflation, we could see gold prices rebound in the coming days.”
