Karachi, October 2, 2025 – Gold prices in Pakistan experienced a noticeable decline on Thursday, retreating from the record highs seen in the previous session.
The 24-karat gold per tola settled at Rs407,778, down by Rs2,500 from Wednesday’s historic closing of Rs410,278. Similarly, the 24-karat gold per 10 grams fell by Rs2,144 to Rs349,603 from the earlier level of Rs351,747 in local markets across Pakistan.
Market analysts in Pakistan linked the dip in gold prices to a weakening trend in international markets. Globally, gold dropped by $25 per ounce, closing at $3,865 compared to the previous day’s $3,890. This global movement directly impacted the local bullion market, as Pakistan’s gold prices remain closely tied to international rates.
Experts noted that while the slight correction may relieve some pressure on investors, gold continues to maintain high value compared to historical averages in Pakistan. Traders also pointed out that demand for gold in the local market remains strong despite the minor drop, with buyers closely monitoring international trends for further movements.
The retreat in gold prices highlights the volatility of the precious metals market, emphasizing that short-term fluctuations are common. Investors and consumers in Pakistan are advised to stay informed about both local and international market trends before making significant purchases.
