Karachi, December 8, 2025 – Gold prices in Pakistan recorded a significant increase on Monday, rising by Rs1,600 per tola, as global bullion markets continued their upward trend. The surge comes at a time when investors worldwide are turning to gold as a safe-haven asset due to heightened geopolitical and economic uncertainties.
According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewelers Association, the price of 24-karat gold increased to Rs443,762 per tola, up from Rs442,162 at the previous close. The domestic bullion market has been experiencing continued volatility, especially after gold touched its record high of Rs456,900 per tola on October 17, 2025.
Prices of 24-karat gold per 10 grams also saw a notable rise, climbing by Rs1,372 to reach Rs380,454, compared to the prior session’s Rs379,082. Jewelers noted that the increasing international market trend is directly impacting local prices due to Pakistan’s dependence on global gold rates for price determination.
Industry analysts explained that geopolitical tensions, uncertain trade relations among major economies, and shifting investor sentiment have kept global gold prices elevated. Investors are seeking security in precious metals, pushing international rates higher and reflecting similarly in Pakistan’s local markets.
In international trading, gold rose by $16, closing at $4,214 per ounce, up from $4,198 in the previous session. Analysts believe gold prices may remain volatile in the coming weeks as global markets respond to economic data, policy decisions, and geopolitical developments.
