US-Iran Tensions Send Gold Prices Soaring
The ongoing US-Iran negotiations have hit a snag due to President Trump's demand for historical conflict compensation from Tehran. This sudden deadlock has sent shockwaves across global markets, causing precious metal prices to fluctuate wildly.
As tensions escalate, investors are turning to gold and silver as safe-haven assets. In Pakistan, the local Sarafa markets have adjusted prices accordingly, reflecting the international impact of these macroeconomic shocks.
