Current gold and silver prices as of September 17, 2025
Gold, much like oil, is a globally traded commodity, and in Pakistan, it plays a significant role in the economy.
On September 17, 2025, the price of gold per 10 grams in Pakistan stood at Rs333,161, while the price per tola was Rs388,600. Silver, another precious metal, was priced at Rs3,761 per 10 grams and Rs4,387 per tola on the same day.
The rates of these metals are fixed by the respective Sarafa associations in cities across Pakistan. The price of gold is influenced by a variety of factors, including demand and supply, the value of the rupee against the US dollar, international gold prices, interest rates, investor behavior, and economic uncertainty.
When the Pakistani rupee is under pressure, investors often seek refuge in gold as a safe-haven metal. This is because gold is widely recognized as an inflation hedge and is considered a valuable commodity across the world.
Gold is not only traded as a commodity but is also widely used in Pakistan for jewelry making. Jewelry is one of the drivers of gold prices, but it is a weaker factor as most people buy jewelry to keep it for years.
The price of gold can be affected by fluctuations in the rupee's value and economic and political uncertainty. Due to the volatility of the bullion market, predicting gold prices can be challenging. However, when investor sentiment shifts, demand for gold can increase, affecting its price.
Interest rates also play a role in gold prices. When interest rates are high, the appeal of gold as an investment may decrease, leading to a drop in its price. Conversely, when interest rates are low, gold can become more attractive as an investment, driving up its price.
Gold has a rich history, used for coins for centuries, and is recognised by cultures as a symbol of wealth. Its value and significance continue to endure in the modern world, making it a vital component of Pakistan's economy.
