Gold Price Drops by Rs600 per Tola in Pakistan as International Rates Fall

January 17, 2026 – Karachi: Gold prices in Pakistan declined on Saturday in line with a fall in the international gold market. The yellow metal saw a modest decrease in local trading as traders adjusted rates to reflect global trends.

According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the price of gold per tola fell by Rs600, bringing the rate to Rs481,862. Similarly, 10 grams of gold was sold at Rs413,118 after it dropped by Rs515 compared with the previous session.

On Friday, the price of gold per tola had remained steady at Rs482,462, showing no change from earlier trading. However, on Saturday, local traders revised the rates after prices slipped overseas.

International gold prices also pulled back. The global rate dropped by $6, placing gold at $4,595 per ounce with a standard premium of $20. This shift in the global market influenced Pakistan’s local gold rates, which often move in sync with world trends.

Silver prices in Pakistan also saw a fall on Saturday. The price of silver per tola declined by Rs43, closing the day at Rs9,482. Traders said the drop in silver followed the softer movements in global precious metals markets.

Market experts said the recent decline came as investors reacted to a strong U.S. dollar and profit-taking after gold’s recent gains. They noted that gold and silver prices remain high compared with past years despite the latest correction.

Buyers and sellers in major markets, including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, adjusted their prices accordingly throughout the day. Analysts recommend that traders watch global cues closely, as international rates heavily influence local price movements.
