KARACHI: Gold prices in Pakistan continued their upward march on Thursday, extending a week of steady gains that brought the total rise to Rs2,800 per tola in just four trading sessions. The increase mirrored trends in the international market, where prices also showed a positive momentum.
According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the local gold rate climbed by Rs900 during the day, pushing the per tola price to Rs362,600. Similarly, the price of 10-gramme gold was recorded at Rs310,871, reflecting a daily gain of Rs772.
On Wednesday, gold prices had already advanced by Rs1,000, settling at Rs361,700 per tola. The consistent climb since the beginning of the week has lifted prices from Rs359,800 recorded on Saturday (August 23) to the current Rs362,600.
In the international market, gold stood at $3,399 per ounce, with an additional premium of $20, reflecting a daily rise of $9. Meanwhile, silver also gained ground locally, with its price increasing by Rs53 to Rs4,121 per tola.
Another week of gains
Gold prices this week have followed a firm upward trajectory. From Monday to Thursday, the market has gained a total of Rs2,800 per tola. This follows a similar performance last week, when the yellow metal closed at Rs359,800 per tola on Saturday after a sharp single-day surge of Rs4,100.
Last week, gold began trading at Rs356,200 and experienced fluctuations before closing the week with a net gain of Rs3,600.
August trends
August 2025 has been marked by volatility in the gold market, with several sharp increases followed by sudden pullbacks. The month began on a softer note, with gold at Rs352,900 per tola, but quickly jumped past Rs362,000 in the first week.
Mid-month saw downward pressure, with the rate dropping to Rs355,200 on August 20, reflecting weaker buying activity and corrections after earlier spikes. However, the final week of August has again turned favourable for the yellow metal, lifting prices above Rs362,000 once more.
