Gold edged lower in Pakistan’s bullion market on Thursday, with 24-karat gold trading at Rs435,100 per tola, according to the Karachi Sarafa Association rates tracked on Hamariweb and UrduPoint’s live gold-rate pages, which agreed on the figure exactly.
The price is down Rs900 per tola, or about 0.21%, from Wednesday’s level of Rs436,000, reported in Wednesday’s gold price update. The dip comes even as international gold ticked higher overnight, with spot gold settling at $4,132.50 per ounce in late Tuesday trading in New York, up $22.60 or 0.55% on the day, according to Kitco. The US dollar held broadly steady against the rupee, with the interbank rate hovering close to Rs277, little changed from recent sessions, according to State Bank of Pakistan data. With neither the rupee nor the international trend pointing lower, Thursday’s modest pullback in local rates looks more like routine adjustment and profit-taking by Karachi’s bullion dealers than a reversal of the broader upward move seen through early October.

The 22K, 21K, and 18K rates above are derived from the 24K tola price using the standard purity ratios (11/12, 7/8, and 3/4 respectively) and closely match the per-karat figures separately reported by UrduPoint. Silver held roughly steady at around Rs6,770 per tola, with Hamariweb and UrduPoint’s live trackers agreeing within a few rupees of each other.
