Gold rates in Pakistan experienced a significant jump today, tracking international commodity market gains and local currency adjustments. According to bullion market associations, the per tola price of 24 karat gold reached Rs. 248,500. This safe-haven asset continues to see high demand from local investors seeking protection against inflation and currency depreciation in 2026.
Market experts suggest that the persistent economic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions have pushed global gold prices above key resistance levels. Consequently, local bullion rates have reacted sharply. Retail gold dealers report steady customer interest, particularly in pure gold bars, despite the historic price increases.
