Gold Prices in Pakistan Extend Upward Trend
Gold rates in Pakistan climbed sharply on Thursday, February 26, 2026. The domestic bullion market continued its strong upward momentum. Investors increased buying amid global uncertainty.
According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association, prices rose across major categories. This marks the second consecutive session of significant gains. The rally reflects growing demand for safe-haven assets.
Gold per tola reached Rs 541,262 on Thursday. The price increased by Rs 1,300 compared to the previous session. Earlier, it stood at Rs 539,962.
The rate for 10 grams of gold also moved higher. It climbed to Rs 464,044 after gaining Rs 1,114. The previous price was Rs 462,930.
Traders reported strong buying activity in major cities. Market analysts linked the surge to geopolitical tensions and currency fluctuations. Investors prefer gold during uncertain times.
The continuous rise signals sustained bullish momentum. Many buyers fear further price hikes in coming days. Retail and wholesale markets both reported active trading.
International Gold Prices Support Local Rally
The surge in gold prices in Pakistan mirrors the global trend. International bullion markets also recorded fresh gains.
Spot gold prices increased by $13 per ounce. The global rate reached $5,185 per ounce. The figure includes a $20 premium due to strong global demand.
Analysts say international investors are hedging against economic risks. Ongoing geopolitical uncertainty has boosted gold’s appeal worldwide. Market volatility continues to drive demand.
Higher global rates directly impact Pakistan’s local bullion prices. Currency exchange fluctuations also play a key role. When the international market rises, domestic prices usually follow.
Experts believe resistance levels are being tested globally. If the trend continues, new record highs may be seen. However, short-term corrections remain possible.
Market watchers advise caution for short-term traders. Long-term investors remain optimistic about gold’s performance in 2026.
Silver Prices Also Post Strong Gains
Silver prices in Pakistan also moved upward on Thursday. The white metal followed gold’s bullish trajectory.
Silver per tola increased by Rs 268. The new rate settled at Rs 9,554 per tola. Traders reported improved demand in the silver market as well.
Silver often trails gold’s direction. When gold rallies, silver usually gains momentum. The current market trend reflects that pattern.
Jewellers noted that rising metal prices may impact consumer buying behavior. Wedding season demand could slow if rates continue to climb. However, investors remain active in bullion trading.
Overall, gold and silver prices in Pakistan remain on a strong upward path. Global market dynamics continue to shape local rates. Investors are closely monitoring international developments for further direction.
The coming sessions will be crucial for determining whether the rally sustains or stabilizes. For now, gold remains a preferred investment option amid global uncertainty.
