Gold Prices Fall Again in Pakistan and Worldwide

Gold prices dropped in Pakistan on Friday, September 26, 2025, following a decline in the international market. According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association, 24 karat gold fell by Rs1,000 per tola. The new rate was Rs395,800 per tola, compared to Rs396,800 on the previous trading day. Prices for 10 grams of 24 karat gold also declined by Rs858. It was sold at Rs339,334, down from Rs340,192.

Similarly, the rate for 10 grams of 22 karat gold dropped by Rs787. It stood at Rs311,067, compared to Rs311,854 the day before. The drop followed a $10 decrease in global gold prices, which fell to $3,740 per ounce. This downward trend reflects global investor caution. Uncertainty in global markets continues to influence gold prices both locally and internationally.

However, silver prices showed mixed movement on the same day. The price per tola of silver rose by Rs64 to Rs4,599. In contrast, 10 grams of silver dropped by Rs55 to Rs3,942. Meanwhile, international silver prices climbed by $0.64 to $45.00 per ounce. The market displayed overall volatility due to global economic pressures.

Despite the price drop, gold remains a strong safe-haven asset. It is seen as a secure investment during inflation, political instability, and economic uncertainty. Advances in digital finance have also made gold investment more accessible. Tools like gold-backed ETFs and mobile trading platforms are now popular, especially in Gulf countries.

In Pakistan, gold continues to be a trusted store of value. With the rupee facing pressure and inflation rising, many prefer investing in gold. The price changes impact consumer decisions and investment trends nationwide. As uncertainty persists, gold’s role as a reliable asset remains important for Pakistani investors.
