Several local and international factors are driving this surge:
- Global Economic Uncertainty: Investors are shifting funds from stocks to gold.
- Depreciation of the Pakistani Rupee: A weaker PKR makes imported gold costlier.
- Higher Demand for Physical Gold: Both investors and jewellers are buying more amid fears of further inflation.
- International Market Surge: Gold touching new highs globally reflects directly in Pakistan’s local rates.

| Metal | Price per Tola (PKR) | Daily Change |
| Gold (24K) | Rs. 416,778 | +1,500 |

Interestingly, while gold prices are climbing, silver prices in Pakistan have dropped by Rs. 20 per tola. This contrast shows the global preference shift toward gold during uncertain economic times.

Gold rates remain nearly uniform across Pakistan since the pricing benchmark is determined by the Karachi bullion market.
What This Surge Means for Buyers and Investors
- For Jewellery Buyers: Prices are at record highs, so it’s better to delay large purchases if possible.
- For Investors: The gold market continues to look promising, but timing is crucial.
- For Exporters: A rising gold price can impact jewelry exports and production costs.
- For Common People: Those saving in gold see their asset value increasing significantly.
Expert Insight: Will Gold Cross Rs. 420,000 Soon?
Market experts believe that if the global gold price crosses $4,000 per ounce, Pakistan’s per tola rate may easily touch Rs. 420,000 or more. However, this depends on:
- The rupee-dollar exchange rate,
- Local demand for gold jewelry and investment, and
- Global monetary policy decisions, especially by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Tips for Buying or Investing in Gold Safely
- Always purchase from authorized jewellers with a valid receipt.
- Keep an eye on daily gold rate updates from APGJSA or the State Bank.
- If investing long-term, consider gold bars or digital gold accounts instead of jewelry.
- Avoid panic buying; wait for small dips in price for better entry points.

The gold prices in Pakistan hitting record highs show that the metal remains one of the most trusted assets during economic instability. With 24K gold nearing Rs. 420,000 per tola, both buyers and investors should stay alert, track market trends, and make informed decisions.
