Gold prices in Pakistan remained steady on 17 January 2026, with the per tola rate holding at Rs482,462 in local markets. Similarly, the price for 10 grams of gold stayed unchanged at Rs413,633, reflecting a pause in movement despite recent market volatility. The stability comes amid ongoing fluctuations in international markets, where gold has also remained largely flat.
In terms of karat variations, 22K gold per tola was priced at Rs435,600, 21K at Rs415,800, and 18K at Rs356,400. Per gram rates stood at Rs37,345 for 22K, Rs35,648 for 21K, and Rs30,555 for 18K, while per 10 grams, the rates were Rs373,459, Rs356,483, and Rs305,557, respectively. Gold per ounce continued to trade at Rs1,058,508 for 22K, Rs1,010,394 for 21K, and Rs866,052 for 18K.
On the international front, gold prices held steady at $4,601 per ounce, including a $20 premium, as global investors awaited clearer signals regarding the next market move.
Despite the stability in gold, silver saw upward momentum, rising by Rs100 per tola to reach Rs9,525. This increase in silver prices drew attention from investors seeking opportunities in the precious metals market.
Market analysts suggest that the stable gold prices may be influenced by cautious investor behavior and a wait-and-see approach amid global economic uncertainty. The pause in gold movement highlights its role as a safe-haven asset, while the silver rally signals renewed investor interest in alternative bullion assets.
For investors and traders, the current scenario emphasizes monitoring both domestic and international trends closely. With gold remaining stable and silver showing signs of momentum, the bullion market continues to offer potential opportunities, though market participants are advised to exercise caution and watch for upcoming global economic updates.
