Karachi, January 10, 2026 – Gold prices in Pakistan witnessed a sharp upswing on Saturday, surging by Rs3,700 per tola and moving closer to their all-time peak amid strong global cues.
According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewelers Association, the price of 24-karat gold per tola climbed to Rs473,262, up from the previous session’s closing of Rs469,562 in local bullion markets. The historic all-time high for gold in Pakistan stands at Rs475,662 per tola, recorded on December 27, 2025.
Similarly, the price of 24-karat gold per 10 grams rose by Rs3,172, reaching Rs405,745 compared to Rs402,573 a day earlier. The consistent upward momentum reflects heightened investor demand for safe-haven assets.
Bullion market analysts attributed the rally in domestic gold prices to strong gains in the international market. Ongoing geopolitical tensions, persistent trade disputes, and global economic uncertainty have kept gold prices highly volatile, driving investors toward precious metals as a hedge against risk.
In the international bullion market, gold prices jumped by $37 per ounce to settle at $4,509, compared with the previous closing of $4,472. The surge in global prices directly influenced the domestic market, pushing local gold rates toward record territory.
Market observers expect gold prices in Pakistan to remain sensitive to international trends, currency movements, and global economic developments in the coming days.
