Meanwhile, international bullion markets also witnessed a decline, with the price of gold per ounce dropping by $5 to settle at $4,525. Analysts stated that fluctuations in global demand, currency movements, and investor activity continued affecting international gold rates, which directly influence pricing trends in Pakistan’s domestic jewellery and bullion markets.
In addition, silver prices also moved downward in Pakistan as the rate of 24-karat silver per tola declined by Rs83 during the latest trading session. Following the reduction, silver prices reached Rs8,034 per tola, reflecting broader weakness in precious metals markets alongside gold’s downward movement internationally and domestically.

Market experts noted that gold prices in Pakistan often remain sensitive to international economic developments, exchange rate fluctuations, and investor demand during periods of financial uncertainty. Even minor changes in global bullion rates can significantly affect local jewellery markets, investment patterns, and consumer purchasing decisions across the country.
Furthermore, traders believe that future price movements will largely depend on global economic indicators, inflation expectations, and geopolitical developments affecting international financial markets. Investors and consumers are closely observing market trends, especially as fluctuations in gold and silver prices continue influencing buying activity ahead of upcoming business and wedding seasons in Pakistan.
