Why Do Silver Prices Change?
The price of silver in Pakistan changes every day. Local shopkeepers change their rates based on two main things: the price of silver in the international market and the rate of the US Dollar against the Pakistani Rupee.
Buying silver is very popular for middle-class families because it is much cheaper than gold. It helps people save their money in a safe asset with small amounts of cash. Also, factories around the world use a lot of silver to make solar panels and electronic items, which helps keep its value strong during high inflation.
