Gold prices fall again in Pakistan – March 14, 2026: Check new rates

The price of gold in Pakistan fell for the third consecutive day on Saturday, following weakness in the international market despite rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions.

According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewelers Association, the price of gold per tola dropped by Rs. 8,700 to Rs. 524,056, while the price of 10 grams fell by Rs. 7,459 to Rs. 449,727. Globally, gold prices declined by $87 to $5,018 per ounce.

The decline follows a previous drop of Rs. 7,100 per tola on Friday, which has unsettled retail buyers who had expected gold to rise amid regional uncertainty.

Market experts told MM News that the fall is driven more by international financial factors than domestic demand. Futures contracts, exchange-traded funds, rising U.S. interest rates, and a stronger dollar have reduced gold’s appeal. Speculative trading and institutional investors selling positions to seek higher returns elsewhere have also added to volatility.

Despite inflation worries caused by rising oil prices, gold has not behaved as a safe-haven asset. Analysts say short-term liquidity needs and hedging strategies have outweighed gold’s traditional appeal.

The Sarafa Gems and Jewelers Association warned that while this weakness may be temporary, it highlights how global financial markets increasingly influence local gold prices.
