Karachi, December 15, 2025 – Gold prices in Pakistan witnessed a notable increase on Monday, rising by Rs2,600 per tola, driven largely by bullish trends in the international markets. According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewelers Association (APSGJ), the price of 24-karat gold per tola climbed to Rs454,862 from the previous day’s closing of Rs452,262 in local markets.
In terms of weight, the gold price per 10 grams of 24-karat gold also surged by Rs2,229, reaching Rs389,970 from the previous rate of Rs387,741. This rise comes after the local market saw an all-time high of Rs456,900 per tola on October 17, 2025, signaling strong demand and persistent investor interest in the precious metal.
Experts in the bullion market explained that the increase in gold prices in Pakistan mirrors movements in the global market. International gold prices rose by $26 per ounce, reaching $4,325 from the previous closing of $4,299, amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties. Analysts noted that volatility in international markets continues to influence local gold rates, making the precious metal an attractive option for investors seeking safe-haven assets.
The surge in gold prices is also supported by increased demand from local jewelers and investors, particularly in major cities such as Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. Bullion traders expect gold prices to remain on an upward trajectory if global economic and geopolitical conditions continue to create uncertainty.
Gold continues to be a preferred investment option in Pakistan, reflecting both local demand and sensitivity to global market fluctuations.
