These prices are reflective of the current rates in major cities such as Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Quetta, Multan, and others, although slight variations may be observed. Internationally, the rate of gold stands at $2,326 per ounce with a premium of $20 in the Pakistani market.
Silver 24kt rate in Pakistan is Rs2,850 per tola, with the price of 10 grams of silver at Rs2,444. The rates of these precious metals have remained relatively stable over the past several sessions.
Factors such as the value of the rupee against the US dollar, international prices, interest rates, investor behavior, and economic uncertainty play a role in determining the price of gold on a daily basis. Gold is widely considered a safe-haven asset, especially during times of economic turmoil, and is commonly used in jewelry making.
The demand for gold tends to increase during times of uncertainty, leading to fluctuations in its price. In Pakistan, the bullion market remains volatile due to various factors, making it difficult to predict future gold rates accurately. Despite this volatility, gold continues to be a valued commodity with a rich historical significance as a symbol of wealth and store of value.
