Gold prices in Pakistan fell on Monday, February 16, 2026, reflecting declines in the international bullion market and local trading conditions. Industry figures show a drop in rates for 24‑karat and 22‑karat gold compared with recent sessions.
Current Rates and Market Movement
According to market data, the price of 24‑karat gold per tola stood at **around **Rs. 519,900 in local markets. Similarly, the price for 24‑karat gold per 10 grams hovered near Rs. 445,730.
For 22‑karat gold, the per tola price was approximately Rs. 476,697, while the 10‑gram rate was about Rs. 408,586.
International gold prices also eased. Global bullion dropped modestly amid thin trading, with spot gold around $4,988 per ounce.
What Caused the Drop?

Local jewelers said the fall in gold prices partly reflects investors taking profits after earlier gains.
Comparison With Recent Days
Experts noted that earlier this week, gold had briefly been higher before easing on Friday. The shift reflects normal market fluctuations tied to global bullion moves and currency trends.
