Gold prices in Afghanistan rise amid global market fluctuations

Gold prices in Afghanistan's major markets, Kabul and Herat, have shown significant activity driven by global trends. In Kabul, 18-karat gold is being traded at a purchase price of 7,130 Afghanis and a sale price of 7,180 Afghanis. The 22-karat gold rate is approximately 8,755 Afghanis per gram.

In Herat, 18-karat gold is priced at 6,450 Afghanis for purchase and 6,480 Afghanis for sale. The market also reports various rates for card coins, including full card coins priced at 62,600 Afghanis for purchase and 64,000 Afghanis for sale.

These local fluctuations are heavily influenced by the global gold ounce price, which has risen to approximately 4,166 USD. Market observers note that unprecedented volatility in global prices and instability in the local market have made it difficult to establish fixed daily rates, advising caution for traders.
