Despite the changes in gold prices, the price of silver per tola remained unchanged, holding steady at Rs3787, as confirmed by the association.
Gold prices in Pakistan usually follow trends in the global market, where fluctuations in the dollar, inflation, and interest rates heavily impact precious metal values.
Traders believe this decline may attract small-scale investors or customers looking to buy during the dip, especially in wedding seasons or for long-term savings.
