Karachi, December 16, 2025 — Gold prices in Pakistan witnessed a notable decline on Tuesday, falling by Rs4,000 per tola as weakening trends in the international bullion market weighed on local prices.
According to bullion market data, the price of 24-karat gold per tola settled at Rs450,862, compared to Rs454,862 in the previous session across domestic markets. Despite the latest drop, gold prices in Pakistan remain historically high. The precious metal had reached an all-time high of Rs456,900 per tola on October 17, 2025, reflecting strong demand during a period of economic uncertainty and currency pressures.
The price of 24-karat gold per 10 grams also moved lower, declining by Rs3,429 to close at Rs386,541, down from Rs389,970 a day earlier. Market participants said the downward adjustment followed international price movements and routine corrections after recent highs.
Bullion dealers and analysts attributed the decline primarily to softer global gold prices. International markets have remained volatile in recent weeks due to ongoing geopolitical tensions, trade disputes among major economies, and shifting expectations around global monetary policy. These factors have led to fluctuations in safe-haven demand for gold.
In the international market, gold prices dropped by $40 per ounce to settle at $4,285, compared to the previous close of $4,325. Analysts said investors are closely watching developments in global politics, economic data releases, and central bank policy signals, all of which continue to influence gold prices.
Experts believe that while short-term corrections are possible, gold may remain supported in the medium term amid persistent global uncertainty and inflationary concerns.
