What are Global Gold Markets & Causes of Increase in Gold Prices in Pakistan

Many factors affect the prices of gold in Pakistan. Mainly, the international gold rate is the exchange rate due to the US dollar hike resulting in rupee devaluation. Also, the global demand affects the gold price in Pakistan, with China being the key player accompanied by major international markets including the London Bullion Market Association which sets the gold prices daily, the Shanghai Gold Exchange, the New York Mercantile Exchange, and the Tokyo Commodity Exchange.  

Resources of Gold in Pakistan

It is common knowledge that Pakistan is abundantly blessed with natural resources. The mountains conceal a wealth of minerals including core, coal, copper, iron, gypsum, chromite, topaz, emerald, ruby, quartz, and gold. Talking specifically about the yellow metal, the country has tonnes of gold and copper resources mainly in Chaghi District, Reko Diq, and Saindak.  

Gleaming Differences: What is 22 Karat and 24 Karat Gold? 

Both qualities are precious in different markets, but there are some differences in their qualities. The 22-karat gold contains 91.7% of gold and 8.3% of other metals like copper or silver. The 24 karat gold contains 99.9% pure gold. Although the 24-karat is more vibrant,  however, its softness doesn’t make it suitable to use for jewelry ornaments. The 24 karat gold is plated on the gold medals which is approximately 90% of silver from inside. 

Gold – A Symbol of Wealth

From being the symbol of eternity and power for empires to an ornament of fashion and beauty for women, gold has different meanings for different eras and segments of society. From the Renaissance to the Victorian and 20th-century modern era, gold has been used for centuries as a symbol of power, and wealth. This renovating element for tombs and temples also added glow to the crowns of the kings and the grace of the queens. 

Which Karat is Best for Jewelry and Investment? 

How strange it is that the purity of gold makes it less durable for decorative accessories than the 14-carat gold which is 58.3% gold and 41.7% alloy with a brighter yellowish tinge. Wealth is collected in 24k gold and beauty is celebrated with 22k or 14k gold. 

The Future: Is Bitcoin a Digital Version of Gold?

Analysts claim that gold is more a stable commodity than stocks and bonds even in times of economic uncertainties. However, Bitcoin is now considered a digital version of gold, that allows people to invest in bitcoins (BTG) with gold dealing agencies. Though a volatile medium, Bitcoin is capturing the interest of many people even in Pakistan, with some creating remarkable wealth through digital currency. 

The continuous increase in Gold Prices in Pakistan hints towards the growing demand for gold. However, those who buy this precious metal as jewelry once in a lifetime have found it difficult to cope with the price hikes. The change in consumer behavior has led to the creation of gold-plated jewelry collections in stores and online shopping welcomed by customers. For more interesting news visit MGC Blogs.
