The drop in gold prices has prompted citizens in Istanbul to take action. Especially in Kuyumcukent, there was a significant crowd, and gram gold ran out.
A RUSH TO KUYUMCUKENT
Citizens took advantage of the decline in gold prices and flocked to Kuyumcukent throughout the day. The density created by those arriving in their vehicles slowed down traffic flow in the area, and the filling of parking spaces drew attention to vehicles parked haphazardly. Due to the congestion around Kuyumcukent, drivers occasionally had difficulty moving forward. However, traffic came to a standstill at times, and activity continued in the area throughout the day.
"FINDING 1 AND 5 GRAM GOLD HAS BECOME DIFFICULT"

While gram gold is trading at around 6,800 TL in Kuyumcukent, the gram price of silver is hovering around 105 TL.
