The decline was not limited to per tola prices. The price of 10 grams of gold also moved lower on Thursday. As per APGJSA data, the rate of 10-gram gold fell by Rs2,058 and closed at Rs389,713. This drop reflects the overall downward momentum in the domestic gold market at the start of the new year.

Gold prices in Pakistan have been reacting closely to movements in the international market, and the first trading day of 2026 followed the same pattern. Market participants continued to monitor global price signals, which influenced local buying and selling activity.

Comparison With Previous Trading Day

A day earlier, on Wednesday, gold prices in Pakistan had already recorded a notable decline. On that day, the price of gold per tola dropped by Rs2,500, settling at Rs456,962. With Thursday’s reduction of Rs2,400, the precious metal has now registered losses for the third consecutive day.

The repeated declines indicate sustained pressure on gold prices in Pakistan, driven largely by changes in the international bullion market. Traders and investors observed limited recovery signals as the new year began.

International Gold Market Performance

International gold prices also moved lower, reinforcing the trend seen in Pakistan. In the global market, gold prices slipped by $24 per ounce. After the decline, the international rate stood at $4,322 per ounce, including a premium of $20.

The drop in global prices directly impacted domestic rates, as Pakistan’s gold market remains closely linked to international bullion movements. Any change in global pricing typically reflects quickly in local gold rates.

Silver Prices Also Decline in Pakistan

Alongside gold, silver prices in Pakistan also recorded a decrease on the first day of 2026. In the local market, the price of silver per tola fell by Rs83. Following the decline, silver was sold at Rs7,635 per tola.

The fall in silver prices mirrored the trend seen in gold, indicating overall weakness in the precious metals segment. Both metals moved in line with international market direction.

Market Trend at the Start of 2026

The continued decline in gold prices highlights a cautious start to the year for the bullion market. Prices have now fallen for multiple consecutive sessions in both local and international markets. Market observers noted that the weakness in global prices remained the primary factor influencing domestic rates.

While no immediate recovery was observed on the first day of 2026, market participants remain focused on international signals. Any further movement in global bullion prices is expected to have a direct impact on gold rates in Pakistan.
