Current prices for gold and silver as of September 19, 2025
On September 19, 2025, the prices of gold and silver in Pakistan saw some significant changes.
The price of 10 grams of gold in Pakistan stood at Rs332,218, a decrease of Rs943 from the previous day. Similarly, the price of 10 grams of silver was Rs3,812, while a tola of 24 carat silver was priced at Rs4,447. On the other hand, the price of a tola of 24 carat gold was a hefty Rs387,500.
These fluctuations in prices can be attributed to a variety of factors. Gold, being a worldwide commodity like oil, is influenced by demand and supply, the value of the rupee against the US dollar, international prices, interest rates, investor behavior, and economic uncertainty. In Pakistan, local market conditions and investor sentiment also play a crucial role.
When the Pakistani rupee is under pressure, investors tend to seek refuge in gold as a safe-haven metal. This was evident last year when gold prices in Pakistan began to fluctuate due to the rupee's devaluation and economic and political uncertainty.
Jewelry can be a driver of gold prices, although it is a weaker factor, as most people buy jewelry to keep it for years. Gold and silver are widely used in the making of jewelry in Pakistan.
It's important to note that gold prices in Pakistan are not fixed centrally, but rather determined by respective Sarafa associations in their cities. Predicting future gold rates in Pakistan can be challenging due to market volatility.
Gold is often considered an inflation hedge, making it a popular choice for investors during times of economic uncertainty. Its value tends to increase when the purchasing power of the currency decreases.
Investor behavior can significantly impact the price of gold in the market. When investors rush to buy gold, the demand increases, impacting its market price. Conversely, when investors sell off their gold, the demand decreases, leading to a potential drop in price.
The gold prices in Pakistan are influenced primarily by international gold prices adjusted to local currency exchange rates (USD/PKR), local demand and supply, and geopolitical factors affecting investor confidence. Additionally, political stability, especially in regions like Balochistan where mining projects exist, also impacts prices indirectly by affecting mining operations and investor sentiment.
In conclusion, the prices of gold and silver in Pakistan continue to be influenced by a multitude of factors, making them a fascinating subject for market analysis and investment strategies.
