Gold prices surged to a new record on Sunday, with fine gold per tola (11.66 grams) reaching Rs 258,800, up Rs 2,200 from the previous day’s closing of Rs 256,600. The rise is attributed to delayed price adjustments during the Tihar festival and US dollar appreciation. Conversely, silver fell by Rs 80 to Rs 3,825 per tola, down from its previous record of Rs 3,905.
