According to data released by the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Association, the price of gold per tola increased by Rs5,700, reaching Rs460,262. Similarly, the price of 10-gram gold rose by Rs4,887, with the new rate settling at Rs394,600.
The spike in gold prices comes after a notable decline earlier this week. On the first trading day of 2026, gold prices fell by Rs2,400 per tola, reaching Rs454,562. The 10-gram gold rate also dropped by Rs2,058, settling at Rs389,713.
Experts say the recovery in gold prices reflects rising demand from investors seeking safe-haven assets amid market fluctuations. Traders have attributed the sharp increase to both domestic and international market trends affecting precious metals.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) achieved a historic milestone, crossing 179,000 points for the first time. The PSX index closed at 179,243.14 points, gaining 2,887.65 points or 1.64% compared to the previous close of 176,355.49 points.
Market analysts say the surge in gold prices and the PSX record reflects growing investor confidence. While gold remains a preferred asset for hedging against economic uncertainty, equities are also attracting increased interest due to improved market conditions.
Traders and investors are closely monitoring daily fluctuations in gold prices. The latest jump could influence decisions for jewelers, traders, and retail buyers planning purchases in the coming weeks.
With gold prices rising sharply, experts advise buyers to stay updated on market trends. The combination of safe-haven demand and stock market growth is shaping the investment landscape in Pakistan.
