Karachi, March 30, 2026 – Gold prices in Pakistan witnessed a sharp increase on Monday, reaching Rs475,962 per tola in line with rising trends in international bullion markets.
According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewelers Association, the price of 24-karat gold per tola surged by Rs3,900 from the previous closing of Rs472,062. Despite the latest increase, prices remain 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 climbed by Rs3,342, settling at Rs408,060 compared to Rs404,717 in the previous session. The upward trend reflects growing volatility in both local and global bullion markets.
Market analysts attribute the rise in domestic gold rates to strong movements in international markets. Globally, gold prices increased by $39 per ounce, closing at $4,532 compared to $4,493 in the previous trading session. Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and persistent global trade disputes have continued to drive safe-haven demand for gold.
Experts believe that gold prices may remain volatile in the coming days as investors closely monitor global economic conditions, inflation trends, and geopolitical developments.
In Pakistan, gold remains a popular investment option and a traditional store of value, particularly during times of economic uncertainty. The latest surge underscores its continued appeal among investors seeking stability amid fluctuating financial markets.
