Karachi, February 23, 2026 – Gold prices in Pakistan extended their upward trend on Monday, marking the fifth consecutive session of gains, with an increase of Rs3,000 per tola amid rising international prices.
According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewelers Association, the 24-karat gold price per tola climbed to Rs536,562, up from Monday’s previous close of Rs533,562 in local bullion markets. The price remains below the all-time high of Rs572,862 per tola, recorded on January 29, 2026. Meanwhile, 24-karat gold per 10 grams also gained Rs2,572, closing at Rs460,015 from Rs457,443.
Bullion market experts attributed the price surge to the upward trends in interbank currency rates, coupled with ongoing geopolitical tensions and global trade disputes that have kept international markets volatile. These factors have increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset, supporting higher local prices.
In the international markets, gold prices rose by $30 per ounce, ending at $5,138, compared to the previous close of $5,108,** reflecting growing global demand amid economic uncertainty. Analysts believe that if current trends in global trade tensions and currency fluctuations continue, gold prices in Pakistan may continue their upward trajectory in the coming sessions.
Investors, jewelers, and traders are advised to monitor market trends closely, as gold remains a popular investment for hedging against inflation and currency volatility.
