ISLAMABAD: Gold prices in Pakistan witnessed significant fluctuations during the month of April 2026, reflecting trends in the international bullion market and currency movements.
At the beginning of April, the price of gold remained relatively high, trading close to Rs 494,000 per tola. However, as the month progressed, the market experienced noticeable ups and downs due to global economic uncertainty and changes in investor sentiment.
According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewelers Association, gold prices saw a sharp decline towards the end of the month. In one of the biggest drops, the per tola rate decreased by Rs 8,900, bringing the price down to approximately Rs 485,062. Similarly, the price of 10 grams of gold also fell significantly during this period.
Experts link this volatility to a decrease in gold prices in the international market, where rates dropped notably due to easing geopolitical tensions and a stronger US dollar. This global trend directly impacted local markets in Pakistan.
Market analysts believe that gold prices may continue to fluctuate in the coming weeks, depending on international economic conditions, inflation trends, and currency stability.
Overall, April remained a turbulent month for gold investors, with both sharp declines and brief recoveries observed across the market.
