KARACHI: The Pakistani gold market is currently witnessing a "rollercoaster" week that has left investors and jewelers in a state of shock. After recording the single biggest one-day drop in the country's history yesterday, gold prices have staged a massive recovery today, Wednesday, March 25, 2026.
According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the price of yellow metal surged by a staggering Rs. 16,300 per tola today, almost immediately erasing a significant portion of yesterday's losses. This volatility is being driven by a sudden $163 hike in international gold prices, which currently stand near $4,413 per ounce.
At 24 Urdu News HD, we are tracking this market madness to bring you the exact rates. If you are planning a wedding or looking to invest, here are the official gold and silver rates for today.
Gold Rates in Pakistan (March 24, 2026)
The sudden U-turn in the market has pushed the price of 24-Karat gold back toward the half-million mark. Below is the breakdown of the latest rates as of this evening:
| Unit of Gold | Current Rate (Rs.) | Daily Increase |
|---|---|---|
| 24K Gold (Per Tola) | Rs. 464,062 | + Rs. 16,300 |
| 24K Gold (10 Grams) | Rs. 397,858 | + Rs. 13,975 |
| 22K Gold (10 Grams) | Rs. 364,716 | + Rs. 12,811 |
Silver Prices Also Recover
Following the golden trend, silver prices in Pakistan also saw a notable hike. The price of 24-Karat silver per tola rose by Rs. 570, settling at Rs. 7,454. While silver remains more accessible than gold, the percentage increase indicates a high demand for precious metals amid global economic uncertainty.
Why is the Market So Volatile?
Financial experts suggest that the "tug-of-war" in gold prices is directly linked to the escalating situation in the Middle East and shifting global oil prices. Whenever there is a threat of conflict involving major powers, investors rush to gold as a "safe haven," driving the prices up instantly.
Yesterday's crash was considered a temporary correction, and today's surge proves that the long-term trend for gold remains bullish (increasing) due to inflation and currency devaluation concerns.
Conclusion
If you were lucky enough to buy gold during yesterday's historic crash, you have already made a profit of over Rs. 16,000 per tola within 24 hours. However, for the average consumer, the market remains highly unpredictable. Experts advise caution and suggest buying in small quantities rather than making bulk purchases during such volatile swings.
