What Affects Gold Prices in Pakistan?
Gold prices in Pakistan are influenced by several factors, particularly the international bullion market and the exchange rate.
When international gold prices rise, domestic rates may also increase. A weaker Pakistani rupee can make imported gold more expensive, while changes in global demand and investor activity can affect international prices.
Local market rates may also vary by city, jeweller and transaction. Buyers should confirm the latest quoted price before purchasing.
Difference Between 24K and 22K Gold
24-karat gold has a higher level of purity and is commonly used as a reference for gold prices. 22-karat gold contains a greater proportion of other metals, making it suitable for many types of jewellery.
The price difference reflects the difference in purity. Jewellery buyers should also account for making charges, design costs and any applicable taxes when calculating the final bill.
