Gold prices in Pakistan moved lower today, bringing short-term relief for buyers after several sessions of gains. The decline follows mild correction in international markets and profit-taking by traders, which also reflected in local bullion rates.
According to market data released on Thursday, the price of 24-karat gold per tola dropped by Rs3,700, while 10-gram gold also recorded a noticeable fall. Silver prices followed the same downward trend.

Why Gold Prices Fell Today
The local decline is mainly linked to a softer trend in global gold markets. International spot gold edged lower as investors booked profits after recent highs. Reduced short-term demand for safe-haven assets also played a role, easing pressure on prices.
In Pakistan, bullion rates often react quickly to international movements, combined with changes in the dollar rate and local demand from jewelers and investors.
What This Means for Buyers and Investors
For buyers planning jewelry purchases or small investments, the current dip offers a better entry point compared to earlier this week. However, market experts advise keeping an eye on global cues, as gold prices can shift rapidly based on economic and geopolitical developments.
For investors, today’s drop appears to be a correction, not a long-term reversal. Gold remains sensitive to inflation trends, interest rate signals, and currency movements.
