Silver prices in Pakistan declined on Monday, with the rate of one tola dropping to Rs 8,092 in domestic bullion markets, according to data shared by local Sarafa associations.
The price of 10 grams of silver was recorded at Rs 6,936, while one gram traded at Rs 693.6.
Bullion dealers attributed the decline to fluctuations in international precious metals markets and shifting investor sentiment amid ongoing economic uncertainty.
The latest decrease comes after silver witnessed sharp movements during the past several trading sessions. Analysts said the metal continues to remain sensitive to global commodity trends, currency movements and industrial demand.
