Karachi, February 25, 2026 — Gold prices in Pakistan continued their upward trend on Wednesday, extending the rally for the seventh consecutive day with a gain of Rs1,300 per tola, reflecting strong demand amid global and local market dynamics.
According to the All Pakistan Sarafa, Gems and Jewelers Association, the price of 24-karat gold per tola increased to Rs541,262, up from the previous day’s closing of Rs539,962 in local bullion markets. Similarly, the price of 24-karat gold per 10 grams rose by Rs1,114 to Rs464,044, compared with Rs462,930 the day before.
This rally follows a brief dip of Rs9,000 on February 17, 2026, after which gold prices have steadily climbed. Analysts noted that Pakistan had earlier witnessed an all-time high of Rs572,862 per tola on January 29, 2026.
Bullion market experts attributed the recent surge in gold prices to geopolitical tensions, global trade disputes, and uncertainty in international markets, which traditionally drive investors toward safe-haven assets like gold. The international gold price also saw an increase, rising by $13 to $5,185 per ounce, compared to the previous day’s $5,172 per ounce.
Market observers highlighted that the sustained upward movement in gold reflects both investor confidence in physical assets and hedging against currency fluctuations. Analysts anticipate that the rally may continue if global economic uncertainties persist, keeping demand for gold strong in both local and international markets.
This ongoing trend underscores gold’s continued appeal as a safe investment and a hedge against market volatility in Pakistan.
