Gold price Pakistan falls Rs10,800 per tola

Gold price Pakistan falls Rs10,800 per tola

The gold price Pakistan buyers pay fell sharply in the latest trading session, with 24-karat gold down by Rs10,800 per tola to Rs409,736. The drop, reported by the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), followed a steep fall in the international market and left the local rate only Rs9,736 above the Rs400,000 mark.

Silver also became cheaper. The price of silver fell by Rs142 per tola to Rs5,388, while 10 grams of silver settled at Rs4,619. In the international market, gold fell by $108 an ounce to $3,872, and silver slipped by $1.42 an ounce to $49.10.

Latest gold and silver rates in Pakistan

The association’s rates show how fast the market moved in a single session. Friday’s closing levels, Saturday’s new rates and the change in each item are set out below.

The single-day fall of Rs10,800 works out to about 2.6 per cent of Friday’s price. The international rate fell by a similar 2.7 per cent, which shows how closely the local market tracked the global move this session.

Second big fall in two days

Saturday’s drop was the second large fall in two trading days. On Friday, gold had already fallen by Rs5,100 per tola to Rs420,536. Before that, the price had held steady at Rs425,636 per tola on Thursday.

Taken together, gold has lost Rs15,900 per tola in just two sessions. That two-day slide is the main reason the rate has moved so close to Rs400,000 after sitting above Rs425,000 earlier in the week.

The global side of the story helps explain the speed of the fall. Reuters reported that spot gold fell 3.1 per cent on Friday to $3,897.09 an ounce, its lowest level since October 2025, after slipping below the $4,000 level. The association’s own international benchmark, quoted at $3,872 an ounce on Saturday, is a different fixing from the Reuters spot price, so the two figures should not be read as one series. Both point in the same direction: a market that broke below $4,000 and kept falling.

Feature Pakistan earlier covered the first leg of this slide, when gold fell to a one-year low in the international market, in Gold hits one-year low. Saturday’s session extended that move rather than starting a new one.

What the gold price Pakistan fall means for buyers

For buyers, the savings add up quickly at current rates. Half a tola of 24-karat gold now costs about Rs204,868, around Rs5,400 less than on Friday. One tola costs Rs409,736, which is Rs10,800 cheaper than Friday and Rs15,900 cheaper than Thursday. Two tolas now cost about Rs819,472, around Rs21,600 less than a day earlier.

Gold is now Rs32,300 per tola, or about 7.3 per cent, below its October 10 peak of Rs442,036. A buyer purchasing two tolas now would pay about Rs64,600 less than at that peak.

For people who already hold gold as savings, the drop works the other way. A family holding two tolas has seen the value of that gold fall by about Rs31,800 since Thursday on paper, before any making charges or shop margins are counted.

Why the Rs400,000 level matters now
