⚠️ Risks & Considerations

• Currency Risk: PKR weakness vs. USD raises local silver costs in Pakistan.
• Industrial Demand: Silver is more sensitive than gold to manufacturing trends (electronics, renewables).
• Geopolitical Risk: U.S.–Iran tensions and Strait of Hormuz blockade keep bullion volatile.
• Investor Outlook: Analysts expect silver to remain range‑bound in Pakistan (Rs. 7,900–8,300 per tola) but bullish in India due to industrial demand.
