According to market data, compared to February 18, 2025, when the 24-carat gold price was recorded at Rs 340,000 per tola and the 10-gram price at Rs 260,800, today’s rates mark an increase of Rs 2,000 per tola and Rs 1,545 per 10 grams.

Similar fluctuations have been observed across other major cities such as Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, and Faisalabad, where the 24-carat gold price is hovering around Rs 350,000 per tola. Experts indicate that the global uptick in gold prices is reflecting in local markets, driven by increased demand and market uncertainties worldwide.
