Gold held close to steady in Pakistan on Thursday, October 15, 2026, with the price of 24-karat gold easing marginally to Rs432,500 per tola in Karachi’s bullion market, according to live rate trackers hamariweb.com and goldrate.com, both updated for today’s date and agreeing to within a few hundred rupees of each other. That is only about Rs500 softer than Wednesday’s rate of Rs433,000 per tola, essentially a flat day for gold after Wednesday’s dip.
Silver told a different story. Hamariweb’s live tracker put Thursday’s rate at Rs6,452 per tola, down noticeably from the Rs6,650-6,800 band the metal had held through most of the past week, including Wednesday’s Rs6,794. The size of that one-day drop could not be independently confirmed against a second live tracker carrying today’s date by the time of publication, so readers should treat the sharper fall as directional rather than exact pending further confirmation in Friday’s update.
Gold’s steadiness locally lines up with a modest uptick internationally: spot gold was quoted at around $4,161 per ounce on hamariweb’s tracker Thursday, up from roughly $4,142 a day earlier. Gold has been trading near record territory for weeks on persistent expectations that the US Federal Reserve will keep cutting interest rates, which keeps non-yielding bullion attractive relative to cash and bonds; day-to-day moves in Karachi’s Sarafa market largely track these overnight swings in the international per-ounce price and the dollar-rupee exchange rate, which has been broadly stable, rather than any fresh local trigger. Silver tends to be the more volatile of the two metals given its smaller market and heavier industrial-demand component, which is consistent with it swinging harder than gold on a quiet day for the yellow metal.
| Metal / Karat | Price Per Tola | Price Per 10 Grams |
|---|---|---|
| Gold 24K | Rs 432,500 | Rs 370,810 |
| Gold 22K | Rs 396,573 | Rs 339,910 |
| Gold 21K | Rs 378,546 | Rs 324,459 |
| Gold 18K | Rs 324,468 | Rs 278,108 |
| Silver (Fine) | Rs 6,452 | Rs 5,530 |
| International Gold (Spot) | $4,161 per ounce | |
For the rest of the week, local dealers’ attention stays on the same two drivers as usual: whichever way the international per-ounce price moves overnight, and any shift in the dollar-rupee rate, both of which continue to set the tone for Karachi’s Sarafa Market each morning.
