Gold prices in Pakistan witnessed a massive surge on Thursday, April 9, 2026, as rates climbed sharply following major movements in international markets. The sudden jump pushed gold to new highs, surprising investors and buyers across the country.
According to data released by the Saraffa Association, the price of gold per tola increased by Rs15,700 in a single day, reaching Rs504,162. The sharp rise reflects growing volatility in global precious metal markets amid changing geopolitical developments.
The price of 10 grams of gold also recorded a strong increase, climbing by Rs13,460 to settle at Rs432,237. Market analysts noted that both local and international trends contributed to the significant upward momentum witnessed during trading sessions.
In the global bullion market, gold prices surged by $157 per ounce, reaching $4,814, including a premium of $20. Experts linked the increase to improved investor sentiment following reports of a ceasefire between the United States and Iran, which influenced trading activity worldwide.
Just a day earlier, gold prices had moved in the opposite direction, as the per-tola rate dropped by Rs3,000 to Rs488,462. However, the latest rebound erased previous losses and pushed the market into a strong bullish phase.
Silver prices also followed the upward trend in Pakistan, rising by Rs440 per tola to reach Rs8,184. The simultaneous increase in both metals indicates renewed demand and heightened activity in the precious metals market.
