Gold prices in Pakistan held steady on Monday, October 12, 2026, with 24-karat gold trading at Rs437,500 per tola in the local bullion market. That is unchanged from Sunday’s rate, but still Rs1,000 per tola higher than Saturday’s Rs436,500, according to live rate trackers including Hamariweb and Minute Mirror, which were cross-checked against each other and against today’s international bullion price before publishing.
The steadiness in Karachi comes even as international gold stayed firm, trading around $4,204 per ounce on Monday, up a modest $10 (about 0.25 percent) from the previous close and holding above the $4,200 mark for a third straight session, according to Trading Economics data. Easing oil prices — on hopes that additional Russian diesel supply could relieve global fuel shortages — have taken some pressure off inflation expectations, while the US dollar index slipped to around 102.12, both of which tend to support dollar-priced gold. Investors are now awaiting this week’s US inflation data for clearer signals on the Federal Reserve’s next policy move, a wait-and-see mood that appears to have kept the local market largely flat today rather than pushing it further. Silver also firmed internationally, with spot silver trading above $61 an ounce, up roughly 1 percent on the day, though Karachi’s own silver trackers reported a tighter, somewhat mixed range of Rs6,650 to Rs6,800 per tola — a gap PakDaily is flagging here rather than picking a single number to present as definitive.
| Metal / Karat | Price per Tola | Price per 10 Grams |
|---|---|---|
| Gold 24K | Rs 437,500 | Rs 375,090 |
| Gold 22K | Rs 401,042 | Rs 343,832 |
| Gold 21K | Rs 382,813 | Rs 328,204 |
| Gold 18K | Rs 328,125 | Rs 281,318 |
| Silver (per tola / 10g, approx.) | Rs 6,650 – Rs 6,800 (tola); Rs 5,700 – Rs 5,825 (10g) | |
| International Gold (spot) | $4,204 per ounce (USD) | |
For buyers, the practical takeaway is that today’s rate is essentially a carry-over of Sunday’s price rather than a fresh move, so jewellers and bullion dealers are unlikely to have revised counter rates through the day unless international prices shift sharply before markets close. As always, actual rates can vary slightly between the Karachi Sarafa Association’s notified rate and individual jewellers in other cities, so buyers are advised to confirm the live rate with their local dealer before a purchase.
