Pakistan’s 24-karat gold reaches Rs440,936 per tola as international bullion prices rise by $59 to $4,184 per ounce.

KARACHI: Gold prices in Pakistan surged by Rs5,900 per tola on Friday, October 9, 2026, following a sharp increase in international bullion markets, according to the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Association.

The price of 24-karat gold rose to Rs440,936 per tola from the previous closing of Rs435,036 in the domestic market.

Similarly, the price of 24-karat gold per 10 grams increased by Rs5,058 to Rs378,031, compared with Rs372,973 on the previous trading day.

Bullion market experts attributed the increase in domestic gold prices to gains in the international market. They said easing tensions in the Middle East had helped support the precious metal.

In the international market, gold prices increased by $59 per ounce to settle at $4,184, up from the previous close of $4,125.

The latest increase in global bullion prices was reflected in Pakistan’s domestic market, pushing local gold rates higher for both per-tola and 10-gram units.

Gold prices in Pakistan generally move in line with international bullion rates and can also be affected by exchange-rate movements and local market conditions.

The association said that the prices of gold in Pakistan have been calculated on the basis of interbank foreign exchange rates issued by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
