Higher interest rates generally reduce the appeal of non-yielding assets such as gold because the precious metal does not pay interest or dividends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversely, expectations of lower rates can support gold by reducing the opportunity cost of holding bullion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Pakistani buyers, international price movements are only one factor determining local rates, with fluctuations in the rupee-dollar exchange rate also affecting the domestic price of gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With prices unchanged on Friday following Thursday\u2019s decline, market participants are closely watching global interest-rate expectations and geopolitical developments for further direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KARACHI: Gold prices in Pakistan remained unchanged on Friday after falling sharply a day earlier, with the price of a tola holding at Rs483,036 amid..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12978,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-26.png",800,947,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-26-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-26-253x300.png",253,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-26-768x909.png",768,909,true],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-26.png",800,947,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-26.png",800,947,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-26.png",800,947,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/?cat=3\" rel=\"category\">Pakistan<\/a>","tag_info":"Pakistan","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12974"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12974\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12976,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12974\/revisions\/12976"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
