However, it is pertinent to mention that the gold rates in Pakistan are around Rs3,000 below the cost compared to the gold rate in the Dubai market.

The international gold price edged lower by $2 per ounce to close at $1,819, weighed down by an uptick in Treasury yields on prospects of US interest rate hikes and a stronger dollar.
