Gold Prices Rise in Pakistan Amid Global Central Bank Reserve Boost
The price of Gold in Pakistan rose on Monday to PKR 39,168.57 per gram, up from PKR 39,007.99 on Friday.
This increase comes as part of a trend where central banks globally are adding to their Gold reserves, with the World Gold Council reporting that they added 1,136 tonnes worth around $70 billion in 2022, the highest yearly purchase since records began.
Gold prices can be affected by various factors such as geopolitical instability, interest rates, and the US Dollar's value. A strong US Dollar tends to keep Gold prices under control, while a weaker one may push them up.
