Pakistan Sees Stable Gold Prices Amid Economic Pressure

Gold prices in Pakistan remained steady on Friday, October 3, 2025, after recent market fluctuations. The 24 karat gold rate held firm at Rs407,778 per tola. Similarly, 10 grams of 24 karat gold traded at Rs349,603, while 10 grams of 22 karat gold stayed at Rs320,481. Meanwhile, international gold prices hovered around $3,865 per ounce.

Silver prices also showed stability, with 24 karat silver sold at Rs4,839 per tola and Rs4,148 per 10 grams. The international silver price was $47.40 per ounce, according to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association. Both metals remained steady despite ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainties worldwide.

Gold continues to be a trusted safe-haven asset, especially during inflation and market instability. Investors prefer gold for its ability to protect wealth and hedge against volatility. Advances in digital finance, like gold-backed ETFs and mobile platforms, have increased access for retail investors in regions such as the Gulf. These tools broaden participation beyond institutional markets.

In Pakistan, economic challenges and a weakening rupee have boosted gold’s importance. Many people view gold not just as a commodity but as a reliable way to preserve wealth. Growing market volatility makes tangible assets like gold increasingly attractive to investors and consumers alike.

Overall, sustained global demand and investor caution keep gold prices firm. Gold’s role in both traditional and modern investment strategies remains strong. As uncertainty continues, gold offers stability in an unpredictable financial landscape.
