Gold prices in Pakistan soared to an all-time high on Monday, September 1, 2025, following a significant surge in the international market. According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association, the value of gold climbed sharply, marking a new record in the country’s bullion trade.
The price of 24-karat gold per tola rose by Rs3,300, reaching Rs370,700 compared to Rs367,400 a day earlier. Similarly, the price of 10 grams of 24-karat gold increased by Rs2,829, now being sold at Rs317,815 against the previous rate of Rs314,986. Meanwhile, the price of 10 grams of 22-karat gold rose by Rs2,594 to settle at Rs291,341 from Rs288,747.
Silver also witnessed an upward trend. The rate per tola increased by Rs101 to Rs4,303, while 10 grams of silver rose by Rs87, reaching Rs3,689.
On the global front, the price of gold experienced a sharp rise of $33, climbing from $3,447 to $3,480 per ounce. International silver rates also gained $1.01, standing at $40.70 per ounce compared to the previous $39.69.
Market analysts suggest that the steady increase in international bullion rates, coupled with local economic pressures, has driven domestic gold prices to record highs. The trend reflects the global surge in demand for precious metals as investors seek safe-haven assets amid ongoing economic uncertainties.
This historic jump in gold prices has further intensified concerns among buyers in Pakistan, particularly those preparing for weddings and other major life events, as the cost of gold jewellery continues to rise. On the other hand, gold traders and investors view the trend as a favorable development for long-term returns.
