Karachi, April 6, 2026 – Gold prices in Pakistan continued their upward trend on Monday, with the rate of 24-karat gold reaching Rs491,462 per tola, according to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewelers Association.
The latest increase reflects a gain of Rs1,100 compared to the previous closing price of Rs491,362 in local bullion markets. Despite the recent rise, gold remains below its all-time high of Rs572,862 per tola recorded on January 29, 2026.
Similarly, the price of 24-karat gold per 10 grams also registered an increase, climbing by Rs943 to Rs421,349 from its previous level of Rs420,406. The upward movement highlights continued volatility in both local and international bullion markets.
Market analysts attribute the rise in domestic gold prices to fluctuations in global markets. Ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, along with uncertainty in global trade, have driven investors toward safe-haven assets like gold. This increased demand has pushed international prices higher, which in turn impacts local rates in Pakistan.
In the global market, gold prices rose by $11 per ounce, closing at $4,687 compared to the previous session’s $4,676. The steady increase reflects investor caution amid economic uncertainty and market instability.
Experts believe that gold prices may continue to fluctuate in the coming weeks, depending on international developments, currency movements, and investor sentiment. In Pakistan, the local gold market remains closely tied to global price trends and exchange rate variations.
As inflationary pressures persist, gold continues to be viewed as a reliable store of value, attracting both investors and buyers seeking financial security.
