KATHMANDU, APRIL 8

The upward surge of gold prices continued its robust momentum into Monday, marking an increase of Rs 600 per tola, reaching unprecedented levels in the domestic market.

Today's surge has propelled fine gold to a staggering Rs 136,200 per tola, setting a new all-time high. If this momentum continues, this record is likely to be surpassed in future trading sessions.

In tandem with the gold market, the silver market has also witnessed a rapid escalation in prices, with a Rs 15 per tola increase on Monday, now trading at Rs 1685 per tola. This follows a gain of Rs 55 per tola observed on Sunday.
