KARACHI: Gold prices in Pakistan recorded a modest increase on Saturday, July 25, 2026, with the price of 24-karat gold rising by Rs300 per tola, supported by a slight increase in international bullion prices amid continued geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East.

According to the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Association (APGJA), the price of 24-karat gold settled at Rs427,736 per tola, up from Rs427,436 in the previous trading session.

The price of 24-karat gold per 10 grams also increased by Rs257 to Rs366,714, compared with Rs366,457 a day earlier.

International gold prices edge higher

The modest rise in Pakistan’s bullion market mirrored gains in the international market.

Spot gold increased by $3 per ounce to $4,053, up from $4,050 in the previous session, providing support to domestic gold prices.

Market outlook

Gold prices have remained volatile in recent weeks as investors continue to monitor geopolitical developments in the Middle East and expectations surrounding global interest rates.

The precious metal is widely regarded as a safe-haven asset during periods of heightened economic and geopolitical uncertainty, often attracting stronger investor demand during times of market volatility.

Market participants are expected to closely watch movements in the US dollar, central bank policy signals and geopolitical developments, which are likely to influence the direction of gold prices in Pakistan in the coming sessions.
