It is noteworthy that domestic gold ended last week in the red zone due to a decline in international prices. The ongoing uncertainty surrounding the delay in election results also failed to stimulate demand for this safe-haven asset.

Internationally, spot gold has extended its rally for the third consecutive session, currently trading at $2,021.8. This rebound follows last week’s release of hotter-than-anticipated US inflation data, which initially pushed gold below the $2,000 mark for the first time in two months.

Given the influence of domestic currency fluctuations on the domestic gold rate, it is crucial to mention that the Pakistani rupee (PKR) concluded its 13-week-long historic winning streak against the US dollar. Last week, the PKR experienced a marginal drop of 8 paisa.

Since gold is denominated in US dollars, a depreciation of the PKR against the US dollar results in an increase in the value of PKR-denominated gold. The market remains attentive to both global and domestic factors influencing these shifts in precious metal prices.
