Petrol price in Pakistan today stands at Rs 343.10 per litre, and High Speed Diesel is priced at Rs 371.80 per litre.

Any change in international crude prices in the coming days could influence the next fortnightly revision.
Copper Rate Today

Why Did Rates Change Today?
Gold prices dipped today across 22K, 21K and 18K categories, which typically follows a softer session in international bullion markets. When global gold prices ease even slightly, local Sarafa markets in Pakistan adjust their rates downward. The dollar rate in Pakistan today also rose by Rs 1, which can sometimes put upward pressure on gold prices locally since gold is priced in US Dollars internationally. However, today the international bullion movement appears to have been the stronger force, pulling local gold prices lower despite the weaker rupee.
On the currency side, the rupee lost ground against most major currencies today, with the Euro and Australian Dollar seeing the sharpest moves. This kind of broad rupee weakness is often tied to increased demand for foreign currency in the interbank market, shifting import payment cycles or general USD strength in global trade. The Qatari Riyal held flat, while the Canadian Dollar actually gained against the rupee, which can be linked to independent CAD movement in global forex markets. Petrol and diesel prices remain stable for now, but a weaker rupee combined with any rise in global crude oil prices could add pressure at the next fuel price review.
