On the international front, gold prices slipped by $40 to $4,285 per ounce, while silver stayed steady at $62.60 per ounce. Experts noted that fluctuations in global demand, coupled with economic and geopolitical uncertainties, continue to influence precious metal prices.
The growing accessibility of digital financial tools, including gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mobile investment apps, has enabled greater participation from retail investors in global markets. Analysts say these platforms are reshaping traditional gold trading by expanding access beyond institutional investors.
In Pakistan, gold remains a popular investment due to its long-standing role as a store of wealth and a hedge against inflation. With the rupee under pressure and economic uncertainties persisting, tangible assets like gold are increasingly seen as safe-haven investments.
