Gold rates in Pakistan have experienced volatility in recent times due to ongoing political and economic uncertainties, as well as high inflation. During such periods, individuals often turn to gold as a safe investment and hedge against instability.
As per market norms, local gold prices typically increase when the Pakistani rupee weakens against the US dollar and international commodity prices decline.
Meanwhile, the international market saw no change in the price of gold, which remained at $1,959.
