Karachi, April 3, 2026 – Gold prices in Pakistan recorded a sharp increase on Friday, rising by Rs3,400 per tola in line with bullish trends in the international bullion market.
According to market data, the price of 24-karat gold per tola climbed to Rs490,362, compared to the previous day’s closing of Rs486,962 in local markets. Despite this increase, gold remains below its all-time high of Rs572,862 per tola, recorded earlier this year on January 29, 2026.
Similarly, the price of 24-karat gold per 10 grams witnessed a notable rise of Rs2,915, settling at Rs420,406, up from Rs417,491 a day earlier. The upward trend reflects growing investor interest in safe-haven assets amid global uncertainty.
Bullion market experts attribute the surge primarily to rising international prices and ongoing geopolitical tensions, which have historically driven demand for gold. Investors tend to shift towards gold during periods of economic instability, strengthening its value in both global and domestic markets.
In the international market, gold prices increased by $34 per ounce, reaching $4,676, compared to the previous close of $4,642. This global rally has directly influenced local gold rates in Pakistan.
Market analysts suggest that gold prices may continue to fluctuate in the coming days, depending on global economic developments, currency movements, and geopolitical conditions.
