Despite the recent dip, gold prices across various cities in Pakistan, including Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Peshawar, remained stable at PKR 214,000. This stability indicates that the gold market in Pakistan is resilient, even in the face of international trends and local currency fluctuations.
The decline in gold prices comes amidst a period of economic uncertainty, with the Pakistani rupee continuing to weaken against major currencies. However, the gold market’s resilience provides a glimmer of stability for investors and consumers alike.
