Current Prices

| Purity (Karat) | Price per Tola | Price per 10 Gram | Price per Gram |

What Affects These Rates
1. International Gold Price & Spot Market
The global price of gold (in USD) plays a primary role. When international markets rise owing to demand, inflation concerns, or geopolitical risks, prices in Pakistan tend to follow. Local rates are affected due to fluctuations in the London/NY spot prices.
2. Exchange Rate (PKR-USD)
Due to the weakening of the Pakistani rupee, the PKR price of gold tends to rise. More rupees are required to buy the same amount of USD-priced gold since gold is traded globally in the USD. Currency volatility has a considerable impact on domestic rates.
3. Purity (Karat) / Alloy Content
The purity of the gold is denoted by the karatage: 24K is nearly pure, while material is mixed in 22K and 18K. Lower purity denotes lower price. The rate per gram/tola reduces proportionally when moving from 24K to 22K to 18K.
4. Local Demand & Supply, Taxes, and Import Costs
The final price consists of demand from jewellery markets (especially around weddings and festivals), import duties, transportation costs, local taxes, and charges by dealers. Rates might increase locally during periods of high demand, even if international prices are stable.
5. Economic Conditions & Inflation
Investor behaviour is influenced by factors such as inflation, interest rates, and macroeconomic stability. Gold serves as a protection against inflation and currency devaluation. Gold becomes more attractive if people expect the rupee to lose value, pushing demand and prices up.
