In Pakistan, the price of gold per tola (24-karat) dropped by Rs 500 to about Rs 358,300 on 12 August 2025.
Earlier, domestic gold prices fell by Rs 300 to Rs 362,400 per tola; 10 g also declined.
On a global scale, gold (in USD) has seen pullbacks when risk-sentiment improves or central-bank/interest-rate signals change.
That said, in Pakistan currently (October 2025) the rate per tola of 24K gold is reported around Rs 462,300.
✅ What to note
A decrease in gold price in a local market like Pakistan often mirrors a drop or correction in the global bullion market. For example, when the international rate fell, the domestic rate followed.
The exchange rate of the Pakistani rupee and import/markup premiums also matter: if USD/PKR weakens or premiums change, local gold prices may not drop as much even if global rates drop.
Corollary: Just because there’s a drop doesn’t always mean it’s a sustained long-term downward trend. Short-term dips can happen amid volatility.
📌 For you (in Karachi / Pakistan)

If you were thinking of buying gold, a short-term decrease might mean a somewhat better price compared to the recent highs — but as seen, gold recently hit new peaks, so the “drop” is relative.
If selling gold, you might want to watch whether the drop continues (to get a better rate) or reverses (price goes up again) — timing matters.
Keep an eye on global gold rates, USD/PKR exchange rate, and local jeweller premiums, as all affect what you’ll pay or receive.
