Gold, a highly valued precious metal, has maintained its significance for centuries and plays a vital role in the global economy.

Its value stems from its scarcity, durability, and widespread appeal. Frequently regarded as a safe-haven asset, gold is employed to preserve wealth during times of economic instability.

Central banks and investors maintain gold reserves to diversify their investment portfolios and protect against inflation and currency value fluctuations.

The price of gold depends on a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make gold rates escalate due to its safe-haven status.

As a yield-less asset, gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal.

Meanwhile, the exchange rate of the Saudi Riyal (SAR) against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) weakened and reached Rs74.25 in the open market on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.

The selling rate of the Riyal also remained constant as it is being sold for Rs74.80 on the third day of the new business week.
