KARACHI – Gold prices in Pakistan are likely to witness further changes on Tuesday (February 24) amid fluctuations in international markets.

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 Rs536,562 per tola as it saw an increase of Rs3,000 in previous session. The price of 10-gram stands at Rs460,015 after a surge of Rs2,572.

In international market, the gold price has reached to $5,138 per ounce after it moved up by $38 per ounce on day due to rising interest of investors.
