Pakistan gold prices fell on Monday, April 13, 2026, reflecting a downward trend in the global bullion market. The decline comes amid shifting geopolitical signals and cautious investor sentiment worldwide.
According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association, the price of 24-karat gold per tola dropped by Rs1,600, settling at Rs495,362. On the previous trading day, it stood at Rs496,962.
The price of 10 grams of 24-karat gold also decreased by Rs1,371 to Rs424,693. Meanwhile, 22-karat gold fell by Rs1,256 per 10 grams, reaching Rs389,316.
In the international market, gold prices slipped by $16 per ounce to $4,730. Analysts say global price movements continue to influence local rates in Pakistan, where gold is directly linked to international trends and currency fluctuations.
Silver prices followed a similar path. The per tola rate declined by Rs130 to Rs7,934. The price for 10 grams dropped by Rs111, closing at Rs6,802. Globally, silver prices fell by $1.30 per ounce to $74.50.
Market experts point to ongoing diplomatic developments, particularly involving the United States and Iran, as a key factor behind the recent dip. Investors often react quickly to geopolitical signals, which can shift demand for safe-haven assets like gold.
Despite the short-term decline, analysts remain confident in gold’s long-term strength. They highlight its role as a hedge against inflation and currency depreciation. During uncertain times, many investors turn to gold to protect their wealth.
In Pakistan, gold remains popular for both investment and jewelry. Price changes directly affect buyers, especially during the wedding season when demand usually rises.
For now, market watchers expect prices to stay sensitive to global developments. Any major economic or political shift could quickly change the direction of gold rates.
