The opening days of October brought further volatility to Pakistan’s gold market. According to the supplied daily figures, gold stood at Rs441,000 per tola on October 2 before falling to Rs437,000 on October 3 and declining further over the following sessions. By October 8, the reported rate had dropped to Rs435,100. Friday’s Rs5,900 increase, however, pushed the price back to Rs440,936 per tola.
This movement highlights the rapid changes in domestic bullion prices, which are influenced in part by international gold rates and developments in the wider market.
International market movements remain an important influence on gold prices in Pakistan. The latest increase in the global rate to $4,184 per ounce coincided with the rise in domestic prices.
Geopolitical uncertainty and continued central-bank demand have also been identified as factors supporting gold in the international market. However, these influences do not prevent short-term price corrections, as demonstrated by the declines recorded in September and early October.
Despite the recent correction, gold prices remain higher than at the beginning of 2026. The average per-tola rate increased from Rs421,444 in January to Rs456,632 in August before retreating to Rs450,593 in September. Friday’s rebound further demonstrated the market’s continued volatility.
