Gold prices in Pakistan today per tola jumped sharply on Wednesday, with the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association (APSGJA) listing 24-carat gold at Rs426,003 after a rise of Rs13,900 per tola. The same day’s sheet put 22-carat gold at Rs365,257 per 10 grams, up Rs11,917. Overseas, the metal traded near $4,035 an ounce after gaining about $139.
Where rates stand now
For shoppers and investors checking gold prices in Pakistan today per tola, the APSGJA Wednesday print is the clearest local benchmark in the available figures. Twenty-four carat is the purest common retail grade; 22 carat is the usual standard for jewellery sold by weight in Pakistani markets. The association’s 22-carat quote is given per 10 grams, so buyers should match the unit carefully when comparing offers at a jewellery shop.
A day earlier, local gold had been discussed around Rs412,136 a tola after a Rs2,400 gain on the previous session. Wednesday’s Rs13,900 surge therefore marks a much steeper one-day move than that earlier step up. Gold prices in Pakistan today per tola still sit well below levels seen earlier in 2026, when the metal traded above Rs500,000 a tola and highs near Rs541,000 were reported in March before an autumn slide into the Rs400,000–Rs430,000 range in October.
Why local gold moved
Market participants said Pakistani bullion remains tightly linked to global prices and to how the rupee trades against the dollar. When the dollar softens abroad, local rupee quotes for gold can firm even if other domestic factors are quiet. Jewellery, wedding-season buying and investment demand can still nudge intra-day quotes, participants said, though those effects have faded while absolute prices stay very high.
Silver has been choppier than gold. After rising a day earlier, it pulled back on Tuesday as softer global rates and industrial demand—from solar, electronics and related uses—weighed on the metal, alongside the usual gold–silver ratio interplay. Dealers and analysts are watching US economic data, Federal Reserve (US central bank) guidance, geopolitics and the dollar for the next clear cue. After Monday’s gold rally and silver’s later retreat, the market was described as consolidating rather than breaking into a new trend.
