Gold Prices in Pakistan

Well, if you’ve been keeping an eye on gold prices lately — brace yourself. On Monday, gold rates in Pakistan hit an all-time high, and it’s nothing short of jaw-dropping. The price of 24-karat gold jumped by a massive Rs. 5,500, landing at a whopping Rs. 428,200 per tola.

According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewelers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), 24-karat gold per 10 grams also saw a sharp increase of Rs. 4,715, now priced at Rs. 367,112. If you usually follow 22-karat gold, that’s now being sold at around Rs. 336,531 per 10 grams.

Why the Sudden Spike?

This isn’t just happening here — the global gold market is heating up too. In the international market, spot gold was seen trading around $4,072 an ounce, which is up by $37.9 (or 0.94%) from the previous session.

The main reason? Investors are shifting their money into safe-haven assets like gold, especially with rising trade tensions between the US and China. Every time global uncertainty kicks in, gold prices start climbing — and that’s exactly what we’re seeing now.

What It Means for You

For those who were planning to buy gold — whether it’s for an upcoming wedding or just as an investment — the timing couldn’t be tougher. Jewelers are already saying footfall has dropped, and customers are holding off in hopes that prices might come down soon. But given the global situation, a quick drop doesn’t seem very likely — at least for now.

If you’re already holding gold, though, well… lucky you. It’s definitely a good time to evaluate your assets.

Final Word

Gold has always been considered a “safe bet” during uncertain times — and that trend’s clearly holding up in 2025 too. Whether this upward streak continues depends a lot on international developments, but for now, all signs point to more volatility ahead.

Keep checking official rates from APGJSA before making any decisions — and if you’re just watching from the sidelines, it’s definitely been an interesting week in the world of gold
