International Gold Market Overview
In the international market, gold prices have seen a slight decrease. The price of gold per ounce decreased by $11, settling at $2,910.

Factors Influencing Gold Prices Today
Several key factors have contributed to the current gold prices in Pakistan:
- International Market Trends: The decrease in global gold prices has a direct impact on local rates. The current decline is partly due to positive economic data from major economies, reducing the demand for safe-haven assets like gold.
- Currency Exchange Rates: Fluctuations in the Pakistani Rupee against the U.S. Dollar can influence local gold prices. A strengthening Rupee makes gold less expensive domestically, contributing to the observed price decrease.
- Local Demand and Supply: Seasonal factors and consumer demand, especially during wedding seasons and festivals, can drive up gold prices in the local market. Currently, a lull in demand has contributed to the price decrease.
