KARACHI – Gold prices are likely to see further fluctuation on Friday in both local and international markets.
The precious yellow commodity has long been considered a safe haven for investors, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. Its value tends to remain stable or even rise when markets are volatile, making it a go-to asset for wealth preservation.
Unlike investments in property, stocks or currencies, gold is not directly impacted by interest rates or government policies, which enhances its appeal during inflationary or geopolitical tensions.
Today, gold rates in Pakistan stood at Rs529,162 per tola as it saw a increase of Rs14,800 in previous session. The price of 10-gram stands at Rs453,671 after a surge of Rs12,689.

In international market, the gold price has reached to $5,064 per ounce after it dropped by $148 per ounce on Saturday due to rising interest of investors.
