Pakistan Gold Prices Drop as Global Trends Weigh on Market
August 11, 2025 — Gold prices in Pakistan declined on Monday, mirroring weakness in the international bullion market.
Price Update (Local Market):
- Per Gram: PKR 30,925
- 10 Grams: PKR 309,250
- Per Tola: PKR 360,700 (down from PKR 362,850)
- Per Ounce: PKR Rs. 876710
The drop reflects a broader downward trend in global gold prices, influenced by easing safe-haven demand and a stronger US dollar.
Why Prices Fell:
Analysts say the decline is linked to:
- Slight recovery in global stock markets, reducing demand for gold as a hedge.
- A firmer US dollar, making gold more expensive for buyers in other currencies.
- Investor profit-taking after recent record highs.
Market Outlook:
Experts suggest prices may remain volatile this week, depending on upcoming US inflation data and central bank policy announcements. For short-term traders, monitoring global economic indicators will be key, while long-term investors may see this dip as a buying opportunity.
