What Caused the Decline in Gold Prices in Pakistan
There was a direct correlation between the gold prices in Pakistan and market conditions internationally. There was a fall in the price of gold by 22 dollars to 4,508 dollars per ounce in the international gold prices, which caused a corresponding decline in gold prices in Pakistan.
Gold prices in the international market are based on a number of determinants, such as the power of the US dollar, appetite for investment in geopolitics, pattern of purchases made by central banks, and mood in the entire commodities sector. The reduction in prices in the international benchmark markets is reflected in Pakistani gold prices at least during the same trading period.
