Gold prices in Pakistan climbed to a record high on January 26, 2026, tracking a sharp rally in international bullion markets as investors continued to seek safe-haven assets.
The surge pushed local gold rates to unprecedented levels across major cities.
Sharp Increase in Local Gold Rates
According to market data, the price of gold per tola and per 10 grams recorded a significant jump compared to the previous trading session. Jewellers reported strong upward pressure on prices due to higher international rates.
As a result, domestic bullion markets reflected the global trend almost immediately.
Global Rally Drives Domestic Prices
International gold prices surged amid economic uncertainty, currency volatility, and geopolitical tensions, prompting investors worldwide to move funds into precious metals.
Meanwhile, a weaker US dollar further supported the rise in gold prices, making bullion more attractive for international buyers and pushing rates higher in local markets.
Impact on Buyers and Traders
The record-high prices have affected consumer buying patterns in Pakistan. While investment demand remains steady, retail purchases, particularly for jewellery, have slowed due to rising costs.
However, traders say existing gold holders have benefited from the increase in asset value.
Market Outlook
Analysts believe gold prices may remain volatile in the coming days, depending on global economic signals and investor sentiment. Any major movement in international markets is expected to directly influence domestic rates.
Therefore, buyers and investors are advised to closely monitor market developments.
Conclusion
The all-time high in gold prices in Pakistan reflects strong global demand for safe-haven assets and ongoing economic uncertainty. The milestone highlights gold’s continued importance as a store of value during turbulent market conditions.
