Gold Prices Surge in Local Market
On January 21, 2026, the price of 24-karat gold in Pakistan stands at Rs. 479,000 per tola, according to updates from major sources including Hamariweb, UrduPoint, and local Sarafa associations in Karachi and Lahore.
This reflects the ongoing influence of international bullion prices, which have remained elevated due to global economic factors, geopolitical tensions, and strong investor demand for safe-haven assets. The Pakistani rupee's value against the US dollar also plays a key role in determining local gold rates.
Breakdown of Today's Rates
- 24K Gold per Tola: Rs. 479,000
- 24K Gold per 10 Grams: Rs. 410,670
- 24K Gold per Gram: Rs. 41,067
- 22K Gold per Tola: Approximately Rs. 439,000 – 439,200 (varies slightly by source)
Note: Some international gold calculators and global converters show slightly higher equivalent rates (around Rs. 498,000–510,000) when based purely on spot international prices and current exchange rates, but local Sarafa Bazaar and All-Pakistan Gems & Jewellers Association (APGJSA) rates — which include local premiums, taxes, and market dynamics — are the ones jewelers and buyers in Pakistan follow. These are typically lower than pure international conversions.
Why Gold Prices Are Rising
Gold continues to perform strongly worldwide as investors seek protection against inflation, currency fluctuations, and economic uncertainty. In Pakistan, seasonal demand (weddings, Eid preparations) and investment buying further support the upward trend in local prices.
Experts advise checking live updates from trusted sources before making any purchase, as rates can change multiple times in a single day based on international movements.
