Today's Silver Rate in Pakistan
Alongside gold, silver (999 Tezabi) is trading at Rs. 6,351 per tola in the local market, up Rs. 60 from the previous rate.
Why Gold Price Changed Today
Gold prices in Pakistan are driven by two factors: the international gold price (quoted in USD per troy ounce on global markets) and the USD to PKR exchange rate. In the international market, gold slipped by around $5 per ounce, settling near $4,055, which pulled local rates down slightly. Even when global gold prices stay flat, a weaker rupee alone can push domestic rates higher, which is why Pakistan's gold rate often diverges from the international trend.

Gold as an Investment in Pakistan
Gold has long been a preferred store of value in Pakistan, especially during periods of rupee depreciation and inflation. Over the past several years, the per-tola price has risen sharply from around Rs. 100,000 in 2021 to over Rs. 400,000 today, making it one of the best-performing local assets during this period.
