Karachi (January 21, 2026): Gold prices in Pakistan have recorded the biggest increase in history, crossing the Rs 500,000 per tola mark for the first time ever.
According to details, the country witnessed a record one-day jump in gold prices, pushing the rate of one tola gold above half a million rupees. This historic rise has caused serious concern among buyers and investors.
The All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Association reported that the price of one tola gold increased by Rs 12,700 in a single day. After this sharp rise, the new price of gold reached Rs 506,362 per tola.
Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold went up by Rs 10,888, reaching a historic level of Rs 434,123.
Silver prices also moved upward. The price of one tola silver increased by Rs 64, taking the new rate to Rs 9,933 across the country.
Meanwhile, the international gold market also saw an unprecedented surge. Global gold prices jumped by $127 per ounce, reaching a record level of $4,840 per ounce.
Gold is traditionally considered a safe investment, especially during times of inflation, political uncertainty, and economic instability. For centuries, it has been used as a store of value and a form of wealth when investors lose confidence in other assets.
It is worth noting that last year, Pakistan changed its gold pricing mechanism. Under the new system, local gold prices are set $20 per ounce higher than international market rates, which has also contributed to the rising domestic prices.
