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 Rs5439,962 per tola as it saw a decline of Rs10,000 in previous session. The price of 10-gram stands at Rs462,930.
The silver price in Pakistan today (05 March 2026) stood at Rs9,004 per tola as it recorded an increase of Rs100 in previous session.
The price of 10-gram silver also stood at Rs7,719 after a surge of Rs87.
In international market, the gold price has reached to $5,372 per ounce after it declined by $100.
