According to the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the per tola price of gold fell by Rs5,000, bringing the rate down to Rs351,000.
Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold declined by Rs4,287, now standing at Rs300,925 in the local market.
This drop comes just a day after gold saw a sharp Rs1,335 increase, when the price rose to Rs356,000 per tola on Thursday. Market analysts suggest that short-term fluctuations in global demand and currency movement may be contributing to this unusual dip in domestic rates.
International Gold Price Movement
The global gold rate also experienced a minor drop. As per APGJSA, the international price of gold decreased by $53, settling at $3,290 per ounce, including a $20 premium. This shift follows a strong upward trend earlier in the week and reflects volatility in the global commodities market.
Silver Prices Also Decline
The precious metals market overall showed signs of cooling. Silver prices fell by Rs68, bringing the per tola price down to Rs3,782. Investors and jewelers are closely watching market signals, especially as the local currency remains unstable and inflationary pressures continue.

Market Outlook
While global investors remain bullish on gold in the long run, the short-term correction has opened space for local buyers in Pakistan. Traders expect prices to remain volatile due to global uncertainty, inflation rates, and dollar fluctuations. With Eid-ul-Adha over, demand may stabilize in the coming weeks — but all eyes remain on international trends.
This drop follows a sharp rise seen on Thursday when the gold rate had climbed by Rs1,335, touching a high of Rs356,000 per tola. The market volatility has surprised both traders and buyers, many of whom were expecting prices to rise further after the global rally in gold prices.
In Pakistan, the decline is partially attributed to the exchange rate of the Pakistani Rupee, which plays a key role in determining local gold prices. Even if international rates climb, local gold can get cheaper if the Rupee strengthens against the US Dollar — or costlier if the Rupee weakens.
What to Expect Next?
Looking ahead, market experts believe that gold will remain volatile in the short term, largely due to global economic conditions. With inflation rates in key economies like the US and Europe still high, investors continue to treat gold as a safe haven. However, fluctuations like today’s drop in Pakistan are likely to happen as local supply and demand dynamics shift, especially after Eid.
Additionally, buying patterns are expected to pick up again as we move closer to the wedding season in Pakistan — traditionally a peak time for gold purchases. Retailers are advising customers to keep a close eye on market movements over the next few weeks.
