Impact of International Trends
The local price of gold in Pakistan is heavily influenced by international spot prices and the value of the Pakistani Rupee against the US Dollar. On Monday, global spot gold was trading near USD 4,986 per ounce. Market analysts attribute the current sideways movement to thin trading volumes, as major markets in the United States and China remain closed for public holidays. Investors are also engaging in profit-taking following a sharp price rally at the end of the previous week. Dubai Gold Rate Today: 18K, 22K, 24K Gold Prices for February 16.
Local Demand and Investment Shifts
Despite the high prices, gold remains a preferred safe-haven asset for Pakistani investors seeking to hedge against currency devaluation. However, recent reports suggest a growing interest in silver among smaller investors. While gold has traditionally dominated the bridal jewellery market, the "skyrocketing" costs have led some consumers to opt for silver bars or recycled gold.
Retailers in major cities, including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, noted that while the official rates are stable today, actual transaction prices at jewellery shops may vary slightly due to local taxes, making charges, and the city-specific demand.
