Karachi, February 14, 2026 — Gold prices in Pakistan surged sharply on Saturday, rising by Rs7,000 per tola, in line with a strong rally in international bullion markets driven by geopolitical uncertainty and global economic concerns.
According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewelers Association (APSGJA), the price of 24-karat gold increased to Rs526,962 per tola, up from the previous day’s closing of Rs519,962 in the local bullion markets. Despite the latest jump, the price remains below the all-time high of Rs572,862 per tola recorded on January 29, 2026.
Similarly, the price of 24-karat gold per 10 grams rose by Rs6,001 to settle at Rs451,784, compared to Rs445,783 in the prior session, reflecting sustained demand and strong market sentiment.
Market experts attributed the sharp increase in domestic gold prices to continued gains in the international markets. They said heightened geopolitical tensions, ongoing trade disputes, and concerns over global economic stability have pushed investors toward safe-haven assets, boosting demand for gold.
In the international market, gold prices climbed by $70 per ounce, closing at $5,042, compared to $4,972 a day earlier. Analysts noted that persistent uncertainty in global financial markets is likely to keep gold prices volatile in the near term.
Traders expect domestic gold prices to remain elevated if the upward trend in international markets continues and the rupee faces further pressure.
