KARACHI – Gold prices in Pakistan moved higher on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, following gains in the international bullion market. The increase was confirmed by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association (APSGJA).
The price of 24-karat gold per tola rose by Rs1,300. It settled at Rs541,262 in the local market. Meanwhile, the rate for 10 grams of 24-karat gold increased by Rs1,114. It reached Rs464,044.
Silver prices also showed an upward trend. The price of silver per tola climbed by Rs268. It closed at Rs9,554.
In the global market, gold prices gained $13 per ounce. The international rate stood at $5,185 per ounce. Analysts said the rise in gold prices reflects strong demand in uncertain economic conditions.
Market experts noted that gold remains a preferred safe-haven asset. Investors often turn to bullion during times of instability. Gold prices tend to strengthen when inflation risks increase. They also rise when currencies face depreciation.
Analysts explained that gold’s limited supply supports its long-term value. Unlike paper currency, gold is not directly controlled by governments or central banks. This independence makes it attractive during financial stress.
Geopolitical tensions are also influencing gold prices. Armed conflicts and trade disputes create uncertainty in global markets. In such periods, investors reduce exposure to equities and high-risk assets. They shift funds toward safer options like gold. This movement usually supports bullion rates.
Gold has long symbolized wealth and financial security. It is widely used for jewelry and investment purposes. In recent years, its safe-haven appeal has grown stronger. Both institutional and retail investors are increasing their holdings.
