In times of global tension, market volatility, and financial uncertainty, investors often gravitate towards gold as a reliable store of value.
This trend is not confined to institutional investors. Individual investors are also increasingly turning to gold to preserve their capital amidst uncertain financial landscapes.
The growing popularity of online investment tools and gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has made access to gold markets more convenient than ever, contributing to a broader surge in demand.
Meanwhile, in the currency exchange market, the Saudi Riyal (SAR) maintained a stable trajectory against the Pakistani Rupee (PKR).
On Wednesday, June 25, 2025, the buying rate of Saudi Riyal rose to Rs75.63, while the selling rate edged down slightly to Rs76.2. This exchange rate remains of high interest, especially among the large Pakistani expatriate community in the Kingdom, whose remittances significantly bolster Pakistan’s foreign reserves.
