Gold prices in Pakistan climbed to a new all-time high on Tuesday, with the domestic rate reaching Rs435,100 per tola after an intraday rise of Rs6,900, the All-Pakistan Sarafa / APGJSA bulletin reported. App+1
The 10-gram benchmark also rose sharply, trading at Rs373,028 after accumulating Rs5,916 during the session. Local trade notices show Monday’s closing per-tola rate had been Rs428,200, underlining the speed of the rally. App+1
Global drivers: bullion above $4,100 an ounce
Local gains mirrored strength in the international market. Trade sources and APGJSA commentary put the international rate at around $4,140 per ounce (with a small local premium), following a roughly $69 uptick on the day. The Express Tribune+1
Major international reporting confirms spot gold vaulted past the $4,100/oz mark and hit fresh records on a wave of safe-haven buying driven by renewed US–China trade jitters and growing market expectations for US interest-rate cuts. Reuters’ coverage of global bullion markets provides context for the move and the broader macro drivers. Reuters
Silver and market note
While gold surged, silver also pushed to new highs in many markets; in Pakistan the 24-karat silver rate was reported at Rs5,247 per tola, largely unchanged in this specific update but reflecting the broader precious-metals rally. The Express Tribune+1
Market participants — from retail buyers to jewellers and bullion traders — are closely watching both international spot levels and local premiums. Rapid moves like this tend to force short-term adjustments in inventory valuation, retail pricing and hedging behaviour. ProPakistani+1
What this means for buyers and sellers
- Buyers: Jewellery purchases and gold investments cost more in rupee terms; consider comparing by gram/tola and watching premiums. App
- Sellers/jewellers: Rising prices can improve margins for new stock but complicate valuation for older inventory purchased at lower prices. ARY News
- Investors: The break above $4,100/oz signals strong momentum; reassess exposure to gold as a hedge versus liquidity needs and time horizon. Reuters
Looking ahead
Geopolitical headlines and shifting expectations about Fed policy will likely keep the metals market volatile in the near term. Traders and consumers should monitor both international spot prices (reported in major financial outlets) and the APGJSA / local sarafa notices for accurate local rates and premiums. Reuters+1
