Gold Trends in Pakistan
Gold prices in Pakistan witnessed upward trend during the 20 days of August 2026. The price of 24K gold per tola rose from the low-to-mid Rs 420,000–440,000 range at the start of the month to more than Rs 460,000 in several market reports by August 20. This shows overall increase of approximately 8% or more, although exact figures varied between sources and trading locations.
Gold market’s surge was not uniform as bullion gained steadily during first half of August, briefly stabilized around Rs 453,000–456,000 per tola in the middle of the month, and then strengthened again toward August 20. Similar movements were observed in the per-gram price of 24K gold.
The increase was influenced by several factors, particularly international gold prices, fluctuations in the Pakistani rupee, domestic demand, and local market premiums. Overall, the period reflected strong bullish sentiment in Pakistan’s gold market, with prices remaining elevated and volatile toward the end of the period.
