AI Summary

long article 4 min

In Pakistan, fluctuating gold prices have led to increased interest in silver as an investment. Jewelers in Lahore and Karachi report a surge in customer inquiries about buying silver bars and selling gold. This trend is driven by the perception of precious metals as a safe haven for investments, particularly during uncertain times. The price of both gold and silver has risen significantly in the domestic market, mirroring volatility in the international bullion market. Some jewelers attribute the market upheaval to fears of potential geopolitical events, such as a possible US attack on Iran.
