Karachi (October 6, 2025): Gold prices in both international and local markets have reached a new all-time high.
The continuous rise in gold prices has not stopped, and as a result, both local and global markets have seen record-breaking rates. Today, the price of gold increased by more than Rs 5,000 per tola.
According to the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Association, the price of one tola gold in the local market has gone up by Rs 5,400, reaching Rs 415,278.
Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold rose by Rs 4,629, now being sold at Rs 356,033. The international market also saw a major rise, where the price of gold per ounce increased by $54, reaching $3,940.
Experts say that the main reasons for this increase are the fluctuations in the US dollar and the growing demand for gold in the international market, which also affects local prices in Pakistan.
It is worth noting that gold is traditionally considered a safe investment, and its price usually goes up during times of inflation, political tension, or economic instability.
For centuries, gold has been used as a form of currency and wealth. When investors feel uncertain about other assets, they often turn to buying gold for safety.
Last year, Pakistan also changed its method of setting gold prices, deciding that local gold prices would be set $20 higher per ounce than the international market rate.
