It's worth mentioning that the precious commodity hit an  each- time high of Rs,500 on Monday.   The fall follows thenon-stop earnings the gold made for three  successive sessions amid depleting forex reserves and a weak rupee which make the precious essence  premium as Pakistan meets all of its bullion demand through  significances.   Due to foreign debt payments, the State Bank of Pakistan( SBP)- held reserves fell$ 592 million to$ million during the week ended on January 27, their  smallest since February 2014, and are  slightly enough to  give import cover for18.5 days(0.61 months).   Spot gold dipped2.6 to$ per ounce by 140p.m. ET( 1840 GMT).U.S. gold futures settled down2.8 to$.   Bullion is down2.5 so far this week, marking its biggest daily fall since early October, with prices having fallen nearly$ 100 in two sessions.   Meanwhile,  tableware prices in the domestic  request  dropped by Rs100 per tola and Rs85.74 per 10 grams to settle at Rs,250 and Rs,929, independently.
