Gold gains Rs1,000 per tola in local markets amid uncertainty in global bullion trade
Gold prices in Pakistan edged higher on Thursday, May 14, 2026, as uncertainty in international bullion markets supported an increase in local rates.
According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewelers Association, the price of 24-karat gold per tola increased by Rs1,000 to Rs492,362 in domestic markets, compared with the previous day’s closing price of Rs491,362.
Similarly, the price of 24-karat gold per 10 grams rose by Rs858 to Rs422,121 from Rs421,263 recorded a day earlier.
Bullion market experts attributed the increase in Pakistan gold prices to rising trends in international markets. Pakistan largely relies on imported gold to meet demand from the local jewelry sector, making domestic prices highly sensitive to fluctuations in global bullion rates and currency movements.
In international markets, gold prices increased by $10 per ounce to reach $4,700, compared with the previous closing level of $4,690 per ounce.
Analysts said investors continued to monitor geopolitical developments and economic uncertainty, factors that traditionally influence demand for safe-haven assets such as gold.
Despite recent volatility, bullion traders said gold remained supported by strong investor interest amid concerns over inflation, global conflicts, and financial market uncertainty.
