Karachi, October 30, 2025 — Gold prices in Pakistan witnessed a slight decline today as both local and international markets recorded a downward trend.
According to the All Pakistan Jewellers Association, the price of 24-karat gold dropped by Rs1,000 per tola, bringing it down to Rs418,862.
Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold decreased by Rs857, now standing at Rs359,106.
In the international market, gold also experienced a decline of $10 per ounce, falling to $3,965.
Market experts say the recent dip in gold prices is mainly due to the strengthening of the US dollar and profit-taking by investors.
As global investors move toward safer and more stable assets, short-term corrections in gold prices are often observed.
Gold is traditionally considered a safe investment, particularly during times of inflation, political uncertainty, and economic instability. However, when confidence returns to other financial markets, investors often sell gold to realize profits.
Last year, Pakistan introduced a new gold pricing mechanism, aligning local prices with the international market.
Under the revised policy, domestic gold prices are now set at $20 per ounce higher than the global market rate.
This adjustment was made to ensure market stability and better reflect import costs and exchange rate fluctuations.
