Why Did Rates Change Today?
International bullion markets softened overnight, pulling down gold prices in Pakistan's Sarafa markets. Silver followed the same trend. The steady US dollar did not add pressure, but the global price dip was enough to lower all karats.
Petrol's decline reflects easing global crude benchmarks, while diesel's rise points to separate supply-demand dynamics. The euro, pound, Canadian dollar, Saudi riyal and UAE dirham each slipped against the dollar, whereas the Australian dollar and Kuwaiti dinar each gained Rs 1, showing mixed movements in the forex market.
