Gold Prices Drop in Pakistan – March 13, 2026
Karachi — Gold prices in Pakistan recorded a notable decline on March 13, 2026, reflecting changes in international bullion markets and fluctuations in investor demand.
According to traders in the Karachi Sarafa Market, the price of 24‑karat gold dropped in local markets, following a correction in global precious metal prices.
Current Gold Rates in Pakistan
Market sources reported the following gold rates:
| Weight | Rate (PKR) |
|---|---|
| 1 Tola (24K) | Rs533,262 |
| 10 Grams (24K) | Rs457,000 (approx.) |
| 1 Gram (24K) | Rs45,700 (approx.) |
Rates may vary slightly across different cities and jewelry markets.
Global Market Pressure
Analysts say the decline in local prices largely reflects movements in the international gold market. Global investors often adjust their positions based on interest rate expectations, currency trends, and geopolitical developments.
When international prices fall, local gold rates in Pakistan also decline due to import costs and currency exchange factors.
Investor Sentiment
Despite the latest drop, Gold continues to attract investors as a traditional safe‑haven asset. Many buyers turn to gold during periods of economic uncertainty to protect their wealth.
However, short‑term corrections often occur when global markets stabilize or investors shift funds toward other assets.
Outlook for the Gold Market
Market observers believe gold prices could remain volatile in the coming days, depending on global economic signals and precious metals demand.
Experts advise buyers and investors to monitor live rates from the Karachi Sarafa Market before making transactions, as prices may change during the trading day
