The gold rate in Pakistan increases after falling for three straight days. On Friday, July 18, 2025, local prices rose sharply due to gains in the international market.
According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewelers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the price of 24-karat gold reached Rs357,600 per tola. This marks a rise of Rs 2,500 in a single day. Similarly, the price of 10 grams of 24-karat gold rose by Rs2,143, reaching Rs306,584.
Gold prices for 22-karat also climbed. Ten grams of 22-karat gold are now priced at Rs281,045.
This recovery in domestic gold prices follows a positive trend in the global market. Spot gold was last seen trading around $3,353 an ounce, gaining $13.1 or 0.39% from the previous session.
Analysts link this rise to a weaker U.S. dollar and growing geopolitical tensions. These factors often push investors toward gold, a traditional safe-haven asset. However, strong U.S. economic data and reduced concerns about the Federal Reserve’s policies limited further gains.
Silver also moved upward in the domestic market. The price of 24-karat silver increased by Rs48 per tola, selling at Rs4,012. Meanwhile, the rate for 10 grams rose by Rs41 to reach Rs3,439.
The recent jump in both gold and silver prices signals renewed investor interest amid global uncertainties. Market watchers continue to monitor economic data and geopolitical developments for future price direction.
The latest figures suggest that after a brief decline, gold is once again becoming a strong option for both investors and jewelers in Pakistan.
