For centuries, gold has held a prestigious position in the world economy, prized for its rarity, durability, and enduring appeal. It is widely regarded as a safe-haven asset, offering financial protection during periods of economic uncertainty.
Both investors and central banks maintain gold reserves to diversify holdings and safeguard against inflation and currency fluctuations.
Several factors influence the value of gold. Geopolitical tensions and fears of economic downturns often trigger a surge in demand due to gold’s reputation as a secure investment.
Moreover, as a non-interest-bearing asset, gold tends to perform well when interest rates decline, while rising borrowing costs typically weigh on its price.
Meanwhile, after a slight decline, the Saudi Riyal (SAR) was recorded at Rs75.06 against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) in the open market on Tuesday, May 13, 2025.
The Saudi Riyal’s selling rate was noted at Rs75.61.
