Gold hits a new record in Pakistan as prices surged on Monday, driven by strong trends in the international market.
Data from the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Association showed that the price of one tola of gold increased by Rs7,700, reaching Rs480,962. Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold rose by Rs6,602 to Rs412,347, marking an all-time high.
Experts say gold hits these highs due to fluctuations in global prices and ongoing economic uncertainty. Investors often turn to gold during periods of instability, increasing demand and pushing prices up.
In the previous session, the price of one tola of gold had already risen by Rs3,700 to Rs473,262. The price of 10 grams increased by Rs3,172 to Rs405,745. The recent surge highlights the rapid acceleration in gold values.
A report by the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) shows that 70% of the country’s gold demand comes from weddings and cultural events. Pakistan also relies heavily on imports, bringing in gold worth 17 million dollars during the fiscal year 2024.
As of the end of 2025, Pakistan’s official gold reserves stood at 64.76 tons, valued at around 9 billion dollars. The rising gold prices underline its importance in the nation’s economy and as a hedge against economic uncertainty.
Consumers and jewelry buyers are closely watching gold hits new highs, as these price increases affect purchasing decisions. Jewelers also warn that continued rises may impact the local jewelry market.
Analysts predict that gold prices may continue to rise if global uncertainty persists. Gold remains a popular investment and a store of value for individuals and institutions alike.
Gold hits record levels again, reflecting both international trends and domestic demand, making it a key factor in Pakistan’s financial landscape.
