Gold prices in Pakistan recorded a noticeable decline on April 3, 2026, as the domestic bullion market lost momentum following weakness in international gold prices. During Thursday’s trading session, the price of gold per tola dropped by Rs7,100, settling at Rs486,962.
The price of 10 grams of gold also decreased, reaching Rs417,491. Market analysts say the decline reflects the continued influence of global bullion trends, as fluctuations in international markets directly impact Pakistan’s local gold rates.
Despite the latest drop, gold prices remain historically high, keeping investors and buyers attentive to daily market movements. Silver prices stood at Rs7,634 per tola, while international gold rates were recorded at $4,642 per ounce, including a premium of $20.
In the local market, 22-karat gold was priced at Rs453,291 per tola, while 21-karat gold reached Rs432,687 and 18-karat gold traded at Rs370,875 per tola. On a per-gram basis, 22K gold was valued at Rs38,863, reflecting continued strong demand despite price volatility.
The recent decline comes just a day after a sharp increase in gold prices. On Wednesday, gold per tola had surged by Rs3,900, closing at Rs475,962, highlighting ongoing fluctuations in the bullion market driven by global economic uncertainty.
Weekly price trends show an overall upward movement despite short-term corrections. Gold traded at Rs472,062 per tola on March 28, Rs468,262 on March 26, Rs479,262 on March 25, Rs464,062 on March 24, and Rs447,762 on March 23, indicating strong investor interest throughout the week.
In international markets, bullion prices eased by $71 to $4,642 per ounce. Analysts note that global economic conditions, currency movements, and investor demand continue to shape price trends, which are quickly reflected in Pakistan’s domestic market.
With international market volatility ongoing, traders and investors remain closely focused on gold price movements as April begins, expecting further fluctuations in the coming days.
