KARACHI: Gold prices in Pakistan moved upward on Tuesday, following gains in the international market where the yellow metal touched a near two-week high.
According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the price of gold per tola climbed to Rs360,700, marking a rise of Rs900 during the day. Similarly, the price of 10 grammes of gold was recorded at Rs309,242 after gaining Rs772.
On Monday, local prices had closed unchanged at Rs359,800.
The international market also supported the rally, where gold stood at $3,380 per ounce, including a $20 premium. This reflected an increase of $9 compared to the previous session.
Silver, however, showed no change, with its price per tola stable at Rs4,121.
Gold’s performance last week
Last week ended on a strong note as gold prices surged by Rs4,100 in a single day on Saturday, taking the per tola rate to Rs359,800. Over the course of the week, the metal added Rs3,600 per tola, despite frequent swings during daily sessions.
Gold’s movement throughout August reflects the same story of sharp ups and downs driven by global market cues. From early losses to mid-month drops and sudden spikes, investors and jewellers have been closely watching the changing rates.

The fluctuations show how sensitive Pakistan’s bullion market is to international price movements. Traders say the ongoing uncertainty in global financial markets has kept gold attractive for investors seeking safety, which has directly impacted local rates.
With gold now hovering above Rs360,000 per tola, market watchers expect the trend to stay volatile in the coming days, depending on global cues and the strength of the greenback.
