KARACHI – Pakistan’s bullion market opened on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, with relative stability in both gold and silver prices, providing traders and investors with a sense of calm after days of minor fluctuations.
As of 9:00 AM Pakistan Standard Time, the official rate for 24-Karat gold stood at Rs. 357,700 per tola, while 10 grams were priced at Rs. 306,670. For those preferring 22-Karat purity, the rate was Rs. 281,124 per 10 grams.
On the international stage, gold continued to strengthen its position as a safe-haven asset, trading at $3,350 per ounce. Analysts attribute this steady trend to ongoing inflationary concerns and geopolitical tensions that continue to shape global markets.
Meanwhile, silver maintained its stability in domestic trade, reflecting consistency in demand. A tola of 24-Karat silver was priced at Rs. 4,031, while 10 grams stood at Rs. 3,455. In the global market, silver hovered close to $37.98 per ounce, supported not only by investment demand but also by its growing role in industrial applications, particularly renewable energy projects and electronic manufacturing.
Market experts note that both gold and silver prices are directly influenced by currency fluctuations, international monetary policy, and investor confidence. While local dealer margins may cause slight regional variations, the officially declared rates remain the most reliable benchmark for jewelers, buyers, and long-term investors across Pakistan’s bullion trade.
For now, traders suggest cautious optimism as gold and silver continue to offer stability amid uncertain economic conditions worldwide.
