Gold Prices Drop in Pakistan Following International Market Trends – July 16, 2025

Karachi – On Tuesday, gold prices in Pakistan recorded a notable decline, aligning with the downward trend observed in the international bullion market.
According to the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association, the price of 24-karat gold per tola decreased by Rs. 700, bringing it down to Rs. 359,000. Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold saw a reduction of Rs. 600, now standing at Rs. 307,784. These prices are valid until Tuesday afternoon.
This drop comes a day after a sharp increase of Rs. 1,600 per tola was recorded on Monday, when the price had surged to Rs. 359,700, meaning Tuesday’s decline has partially offset the previous gain.
In the international market, gold prices also experienced a dip, with the price per ounce falling by $7 to reach $3,365, including a $20 premium.
The local silver market followed a similar trend. The price of silver per tola dropped by Rs. 73, now standing at Rs. 4,014, raising concerns of impact across other segments of the jewellery industry.
Experts attribute the decline in gold and silver prices to ongoing uncertainty in global financial markets and fluctuations in the value of the US dollar. The local market in Pakistan mirrored these international movements closely.
Investors and buyers are advised to keep a close watch on both local and global trends before making purchasing decisions in the precious metals sector.
