Karachi, January 2, 2026 – Gold prices in Pakistan rebounded sharply on Friday, gaining Rs5,700 per tola after four consecutive days of decline, signaling renewed investor interest in the precious metal.
According to the All Pakistan Sarafa, Gems and Jewelers Association (APSGJ), the price of 24-karat gold per tola rose to Rs460,262, up from Thursday’s closing of Rs454,562 in domestic bullion markets. This marks the first increase since December 27, 2025, when gold had reached an all-time high of Rs475,662 per tola.
Similarly, the price of 24-karat gold per 10 grams climbed by Rs4,887, closing at Rs374,600 compared to the previous day’s Rs369,713. Experts in the bullion market attributed the upward movement to rising international gold prices, influenced by ongoing geopolitical tensions and global trade uncertainties that have kept the market volatile.
In international trading, gold prices increased by $57 per ounce, closing at $4,379, up from $4,322 per ounce on Thursday. Analysts said that global investors are turning to gold as a safe-haven asset amid economic uncertainties and fluctuations in other financial markets.
Bullion traders in Pakistan noted that the surge is likely to stimulate domestic demand for gold in jewelry and investment sectors, particularly ahead of upcoming festive seasons and weddings. They also cautioned that prices could remain volatile in the short term, tracking international market trends, currency fluctuations, and geopolitical developments.
The rebound in gold prices provides relief to investors who witnessed a sharp decline over the past four days, reaffirming gold’s status as a stable and secure investment in uncertain times.
