Gold rates in Pakistan climbed sharply on Monday, September 22, 2025, mirroring an upward trend in international markets. The All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association reported significant increases in both local and global prices.

In the global bullion market, gold rates advanced by $34 per ounce, closing at $3,719 from the earlier level of $3,685. Analysts noted that investor demand for safe-haven assets remains strong amid global economic uncertainty.
Gold as a Safe-Haven Asset
Gold continues to serve as a reliable store of value during inflation, currency instability, and geopolitical tensions. Its dual role as both a medium of exchange and an investment asset keeps it attractive for individuals and institutions alike.
With the rise of digital platforms such as gold-backed ETFs and mobile trading apps, access to international gold markets has expanded. Retail investors, especially in regions like the Gulf, are increasingly joining a sector once dominated by large institutional players.
Gold Rates and Investment in Pakistan
In Pakistan, gold rates directly influence consumer decisions and investment strategies. With the rupee under pressure and economic challenges persisting, many households prefer gold as a secure option for preserving wealth.
The latest surge highlights how global movements in bullion markets continue to impact domestic pricing. Experts suggest that investors will keep a close watch on international trends, as fluctuations in gold rates are likely to remain tied to inflationary pressures and geopolitical developments.
