Gold prices in Pakistan continued their upward momentum on Thursday, August 28, 2025, reflecting strength in the global precious metals market. Rates released by local Sarafa (bullion) markets show a sharp climb in domestic prices, in line with international trends.
Domestic Gold Rates
According to dealers, 24-karat gold is now priced at Rs360,650 per tola. For those trading in smaller quantities, the price stands at Rs309,204.50 per 10 grams or Rs30,920.45 per gram. The surge follows a consistent rise in global spot prices, which remain near historic highs.
Silver Prices See Modest Increase
Silver has also posted gains but remains far cheaper compared to gold. A tola of 24-karat silver is now available for Rs4,130, while 10 grams cost Rs3,540.90.
Global Market Snapshot
Internationally, gold is trading at $3,390.70 per ounce, supported by economic uncertainty and strong demand from central banks and investors seeking a safe haven. Silver stands at $38.74 per ounce, showing resilience but lagging behind gold’s sharp rally.
Market Insight
Analysts suggest that global inflation concerns and geopolitical tensions are fueling precious metal demand, pushing prices higher across South Asia, including Pakistan. Local buyers, however, may feel the pinch as a stronger dollar and import costs continue to weigh on the rupee.
