ISLAMABAD – Gold prices in Pakistan have surged to an all-time high, with the cost per tola reaching a record-breaking Rs325,500. This sharp rise comes as global and local markets experience heightened demand for the precious metal, reflecting growing economic uncertainties.
The price 10 gram of 24-karat gold has also seen a significant increase, now priced at Rs279,063 per 10 grams. The recent surge in prices is attributed to the ongoing volatility in international markets, which has caused a ripple effect in Pakistan’s gold rates. Experts believe factors such as inflationary pressures, shifts in currency markets, and broader global economic instability are contributing to the spike in gold prices.
The rise in gold prices has been consistent across major cities in Pakistan, with the same rate of Rs325,500 per tola reported in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, Quetta, Sialkot, Hyderabad, and Faisalabad. In contrast, silver prices have remained stable, holding at Rs3,421 per tola nationwide.
