Silver Prices in Pakistan

Alongside the significant decline in gold prices, silver prices in Pakistan also faced a reduction. On Thursday, the price of silver per tola decreased by Rs130, bringing it down to Rs3,300 in the local market.

What’s Driving the Decline in Precious Metals Prices?

The sharp decline in both gold and silver prices can be attributed to the global economic shifts following Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election. Global market reactions often influence precious metals, and this massive price drop is a clear reflection of those changes.

The significant fall in gold prices presents both challenges and opportunities for investors in Pakistan. While gold’s decline may deter some buyers, it could provide a potential opportunity for others to purchase at lower prices. As always, the market remains volatile, and any further developments in global politics and the economy could continue to affect these precious metals.
