Market analysts note that global price movements are influenced by economic data from the United States and policy signals from the Federal Reserve. Stronger-than-expected US jobs data earlier this week supported the dollar, which typically puts pressure on bullion prices in international markets.
Gold demand in Pakistan
Gold remains widely used in Pakistan for jewelry and as a store of value, particularly during the wedding season. Prices are primarily linked to trends in the international bullion market, including rates set in London, and adjusted according to local currency movements and demand conditions.
Traders advise buyers to monitor daily fluctuations, as rates can shift in response to global economic indicators and exchange rate movements.
