🌍 Why Gold Prices Change Daily

Gold rates in Pakistan depend on several key factors:

If the USD rises, gold becomes more expensive locally.

3. 🏛 Import Duties & Taxes

Government taxes on gold imports can suddenly increase prices.

4. 💍 Local Demand

Wedding seasons and festivals increase demand, pushing prices higher.
