Gold price in Pakistan moved lower on Thursday, reflecting both domestic market adjustments and a mild pullback in global bullion prices. According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewelers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the price of 24-karat gold dropped significantly, signaling a cautious outlook among investors amid easing geopolitical and monetary tensions.
The decline comes after recent highs and suggests profit-taking activity, both locally and internationally, as market participants reassess risk factors and near-term demand for safe-haven assets.
Gold Price in Pakistan Today – Latest Rates
In the local bullion market, 24-karat gold was sold at Rs482,462 per tola, registering a day-on-day decrease of Rs3,700. On a per-gram basis, 24-karat gold per 10 grams fell by Rs3,172 to Rs413,633.
Lower-purity gold followed the same trend. 22-karat gold was quoted at Rs379,177 per 10 grams, reflecting reduced buying interest amid volatile pricing conditions.
From a broader perspective, gold prices in Pakistan remain elevated despite today’s correction. On a month-on-month basis, gold prices are still higher by over Rs31,600 per tola, while the financial year-to-date (FYTD) increase stands above Rs132,000 per tola, highlighting the metal’s strong long-term performance as an inflation hedge.
Silver Prices Fall Alongside Gold Price in Pakistan
Silver prices in Pakistan also declined, mirroring weakness in gold and international precious metals markets. 24-karat silver was sold at Rs9,425 per tola, down Rs150, while silver per 10 grams fell by Rs129 to Rs8,080.
Despite the daily decline, silver continues to show resilience over longer time horizons. Since the start of the financial year, silver prices have increased by more than Rs5,600 per tola, underlining sustained industrial and investment demand.
Global Gold Market Impact on Gold Price in Pakistan
Internationally, spot gold traded near $4,603 per ounce, down $11.5 or 0.25% from the previous session. The modest pullback came as investors locked in profits following recent rallies.
A softer tone from US President Donald Trump regarding Federal Reserve policy and geopolitical tensions with Iran helped ease market anxiety. Reduced geopolitical risk typically weakens demand for gold as a safe-haven asset, which in turn impacts the gold price in Pakistan, given its strong linkage with global bullion trends and currency movements.
What This Means for Investors and Buyers
The latest decline in the gold price in Pakistan may offer short-term relief to buyers who were sidelined by record-high prices. However, analysts caution that volatility remains elevated due to:
• Ongoing uncertainty around global interest rate policies
• Exchange rate fluctuations in Pakistan
• Persistent inflationary pressures
• Shifting geopolitical developments
For investors, gold continues to serve as a long-term store of value, even as short-term corrections create entry opportunities.
Outlook for Gold Price in Pakistan
Looking ahead, the gold price in Pakistan is expected to remain sensitive to global economic signals and domestic currency movements. While near-term corrections may continue, the broader trend remains supported by inflation concerns and cautious investor sentiment.
Market participants are advised to closely monitor international gold prices, US monetary policy signals, and PKR stability to better anticipate future price movements.
