Gold prices in Pakistan continued their upward trajectory on 25 February 2026, hitting Rs539,962 per tola, according to local market reports. The surge reflects ongoing volatility in the international gold market, putting added pressure on consumers and investors across the country. For 10 grams, the rate stood at Rs462,930, marking a notable increase over recent days.
Over the past week, gold has experienced a roller-coaster pattern. On 21 February, the price was Rs533,562 per tola, while on 20 February it stood at Rs526,462. Earlier in the month, rates fluctuated between Rs514,762 and Rs528,562 per tola, showing significant short-term volatility in domestic markets.
For 21-karat gold, rates also climbed, with the price per tola reaching Rs460,862.50, while 22K gold traded at Rs482,808.33 per tola. One gram of 21K gold was valued at Rs39,512.38, and 10 grams at Rs395,123.75. The prices per ounce also mirrored the surge, with 21K gold trading at over Rs1.1 million per ounce.
Global market dynamics contributed to the domestic rally. International gold prices increased by $34 to reach $5,172 per ounce, including a $20 premium. This spike fueled strong gains in Pakistan, with the local market seeing an increase of approximately Rs3,700 per tola in a single session.
Silver also experienced upward momentum, with prices rising by Rs192 to Rs9,286 per tola. This surge in precious metals highlights growing investor interest and caution as both gold and silver become more expensive amid global market fluctuations.
Analysts say that the sharp movements are linked to international demand and currency fluctuations, suggesting that investors and consumers should monitor rates closely before making purchases. The current market trend shows continued strength in gold, with no signs of immediate reversal, reinforcing the precious metal’s role as a hedge against market uncertainty.
