Gold prices in Pakistan held steady on Friday, October 16, 2026, with 24-karat gold trading at Rs432,000 per tola in the local bullion market — unchanged from Thursday’s closing rate. The figure is confirmed by two independently-updating live rate trackers, hamariweb.com and urdupoint.com, both of which showed the Karachi Sarafa Association rate holding at the same level this morning, a reassuring sign after past instances of stale news-article figures circulating online.
The flat local reading comes even though international gold had a strong session a day earlier. Spot gold climbed to roughly $4,147 per ounce on Thursday, up from about $4,073 on Wednesday, as a hotter-than-expected US Producer Price Index reading (6.3 percent year-on-year against forecasts of 5.5 percent) was outweighed by a sharper pull lower in the 10-year US Treasury yield, down to 5.089 percent, and a 0.4 percent slide in the US Dollar Index to 102.11 from an 18-month high. Comments from Federal Reserve officials Mary Daly and Michelle Bowman, both signalling no urgent need for an immediate rate hike, also eased pressure on bullion, according to market commentary from FXStreet. Because Pakistan’s local quote typically carries forward the previous global session’s close, and the rupee held broadly steady against the US dollar, Friday’s unchanged domestic rate essentially reflects Thursday’s rally already being priced in locally, rather than any fresh local movement today.
Here is the full breakdown of gold across all common purities, along with today’s silver and international rates, in one table:
| Metal / Karat | Per Tola (PKR) | Per 10 Grams (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| 24K Gold | Rs 432,000 | Rs 370,380 |
| 22K Gold | Rs 396,000 | Rs 339,515 |
| 21K Gold | Rs 378,000 | Rs 324,083 |
| 18K Gold | Rs 324,000 | Rs 277,785 |
| Silver | Rs 6,301 | Rs 5,401 |
| International Gold (per ounce, USD) | $4,147 | |
The 22K, 21K and 18K figures above are derived from the 24K rate using the standard purity ratios, since local dealers quote 24K directly. On silver, it’s worth noting that while hamariweb.com’s dated tracker put the rate at Rs6,301 per tola — a figure that lines up closely with a fair-value calculation based on today’s international silver price of roughly $56.55 per ounce — urdupoint.com’s undated silver page showed a noticeably higher Rs6,767 per tola. Since that second figure could not be confirmed as reflecting today specifically, this report uses the hamariweb.com rate as the more reliable of the two.
Gold has been trading in a tight band through the week; readers can compare today’s rate with Thursday’s gold price update to track the recent trend.
