These updated rates show a clear decrease compared to previous days, bringing some relief for buyers while raising concerns for investors.
📊 Why Did Gold Prices Fall?
Several factors may have contributed to this decline:
- Strong US Dollar: When the dollar gains strength, gold prices usually fall.
- Interest Rate Expectations: Rising interest rates reduce the demand for gold.
- Market Correction: After recent highs, prices often adjust naturally.
- Lower Safe-Haven Demand: Investors may be shifting towards other assets.
These combined factors pushed both gold and silver prices downward.

It is important to note that the international bullion market remains closed on Saturday and Sunday. Similarly, in Pakistan, local gold markets are also closed due to Eid holidays.
This means no major price changes are expected until markets reopen after the weekend.
