Karachi: Gold prices recorded a notable decline across Pakistan on Monday, mirroring losses in international bullion markets as investors reacted to changing market conditions and developments in the Middle East.
According to Beyond Time News, the price of gold dropped significantly in both local and global markets, providing temporary relief to buyers after recent record highs.
Gold Price Per Tola Drops by Over Rs3,000
Fresh rates released by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association (APSGJA) showed a substantial decrease in gold prices.
The price of 24-karat gold per tola fell by Rs3,094 and settled at Rs452,233. In the previous trading session, the same quantity traded at Rs455,327.
Likewise, the price of 10 grams of 24-karat gold declined by Rs2,785. It closed at Rs386,987 compared to Rs389,772 a day earlier.
The latest decrease reflects the impact of international market movements on Pakistan’s precious metals sector.
International Gold Market Sees Decline
Gold prices also moved lower in global trading.
The international price of gold dropped by $30 per ounce and reached $4,297. During the previous session, the metal traded at $4,328.92 per ounce.
Analysts said investors adjusted their positions as market sentiment shifted amid evolving geopolitical developments and economic uncertainty.
As a result, gold experienced selling pressure despite its reputation as a traditional safe-haven asset.
Silver Prices Also Move Lower
The decline extended to the silver market as well.
In Pakistan, the price of silver per tola decreased by Rs94 and settled at Rs7,173. Previously, silver traded at Rs7,267 per tola.
The downward movement in silver prices followed a similar trend in precious metals markets, where investors reassessed risk and demand expectations.
Middle East Tensions Remain in Focus
Financial markets continue to monitor developments in the Middle East closely.
Reports of explosions in several Iranian cities, including Tehran, Tabriz, and Isfahan, have increased uncertainty in global markets. Consequently, concerns about regional stability and energy supplies remain elevated.
Investors are particularly watching the situation around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes. Any disruption in the area could affect global energy markets and influence commodity prices.
Meanwhile, ongoing diplomatic efforts involving Iran, the United States, and regional stakeholders continue to shape investor expectations.
Why Gold Prices Are Falling
Market experts say several factors contributed to the latest decline in gold prices.
First, investors adjusted their portfolios in response to changing risk perceptions. Second, fluctuations in global demand for safe-haven assets reduced buying momentum in the bullion market.
Furthermore, traders reacted to broader economic signals and geopolitical developments, leading to increased price volatility.
Although gold often rises during periods of uncertainty, short-term market movements can still push prices lower when investor sentiment changes.

Long-Term Outlook Remains Positive
Despite the recent decline, many analysts remain optimistic about gold’s long-term prospects.
Historically, investors have viewed gold as a reliable store of value during periods of inflation, currency weakness, and geopolitical instability.
Moreover, central bank purchases, global economic uncertainty, and concerns about inflation continue to support long-term demand for the precious metal.
As a result, experts believe gold could remain an attractive investment option for those seeking protection against market volatility.
Investors Monitor Market Trends
The latest drop highlights the sensitivity of precious metal prices to global events and investor sentiment.
While short-term fluctuations are expected, market participants continue to watch economic indicators, geopolitical developments, and international bullion trends for clues about future price movements.
For now, buyers and investors alike will keep a close eye on both local and global markets as gold and silver prices respond to changing conditions.
