Gold prices in Pakistan held largely steady on Monday, September 21, 2026, with 24-karat gold trading at Rs454,700 per tola in the Karachi Sarafa market. Two independently-run live rate trackers, hamariweb.com and urdupoint.com, arrived at this identical figure on Monday, and three more sources landed within 0.2% of it, giving high confidence in the number. The rate is essentially flat compared with the past two sessions, sitting just Rs1,400 (0.3%) above the level PakDaily reported on September 19, and level with the rate in Sunday’s update.
The near-flat local rate tracks a mild pullback in international bullion, which slipped roughly $16-17 an ounce (down about 0.38%) to trade around $4,360-4,368 per ounce on Monday, according to TradingEconomics and Kitco. Gold has been digesting the US Federal Reserve’s September 16 rate hike — its first increase in three years under new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, who has signalled the possibility of another hike before year-end, as reported by Bloomberg and CBS News — a stance that tends to weigh on non-yielding assets like gold by keeping the dollar and bond yields firm. The Pakistani rupee, meanwhile, stayed flat against the US dollar in interbank trading at around Rs277.15-277.65, so Monday’s move in Karachi was driven almost entirely by the international price rather than any currency shift.

Monday’s reading extends a stretch of comparative calm in the domestic bullion market. Some prose news outlets circulated a higher figure of roughly Rs460,000/tola for the same period, but that number was not corroborated by any live rate tracker and appears to stem from a stale or inflated feed, so it has not been used here; the Rs454,700/tola figure reflects the consensus of five independently-updating trackers checked for this report.
