Why Do Gold Prices Change Daily in Pakistan?

Gold prices in Pakistan are not constant — they vary from day today sometimes multiple times a day. These daily changes are driven by multiple factors, and here they are:

🌍
International Gold Price
Gold Price in Pakistan is directly related with the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) at dollar price per troy ounce.
💵
USD to PKR Exchange Rate
As gold is priced in US dollars across the globe, any depreciation of the Pakistani rupee immediately increases local bullion prices.
🏛️
Import Duties & Taxes
When gold is imported, the base international price gets bombed with government import duties, GST and other levies.
📈
Local Demand & Supply
There is local buying pressure due to wedding seasons, festivals etc., as well economic factors can also push prices beyond the international one.
⚡
Geopolitical Events
Investors in all countries have turned to gold as a safe-haven asset due to global uncertainty, conflicts and central bank policies; this drives prices higher worldwide.
🏦
Dealer Premiums
The base Sarafa rate is set after incorporating making charges and spreads by jewellers and bullion dealers which vary across shops, cities.

How to Read Pakistan's Gold Rate Table

Per Tola: The primary unit in Pakistan. 1 Tola = 11.6638 grams. All Sarafa Bazar official rates are quoted per tola.

Per Gram: Derived from the tola rate. To get price per gram, divide the tola rate by 11.6638. Useful for small jewellery purchases.

Is This a Good Time to Buy Gold in Pakistan?

In Pakistan, gold has risen greatly in value. Market data suggests the 24K price was about Rs.90,000/tola in 2019 — it is now over Rs4,88,500 representing a rise of more than five times in around seven years. This is reflective of the booming gold prices internationally and weakening Pakistani Rupee against US dollar.
