Market Analysis
Gold prices in Pakistan on May 17, 2026, are trading at Rs. 469,700 per tola for 24K gold after recent market corrections reduced prices from record highs. The decline of nearly Rs. 8,000 per tola during recent sessions reflects changing global bullion sentiment and easing buying pressure.
International gold prices are currently hovering around $4,542 per ounce, which continues to directly influence Pakistan’s domestic bullion market. Stability in the Pakistani Rupee alongside softer international trends has also contributed to the current downward movement in gold prices.
In major cities including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, and Quetta, jewellery demand remains active, especially for 22K bridal jewellery and wedding season purchases. Investors are also closely monitoring the market for further price fluctuations.
Market experts advise buyers and investors to compare rates carefully, monitor daily market trends, and ensure gold purity certification before making purchases in the current volatile environment.
