The bullion market ended 2025 on a weak note, as both gold and silver prices declined further, reinforcing a year-end downturn after a volatile final quarter.
Despite the recent losses, gold in Pakistan still recorded historic annual gains. The price of 24-karat gold per tola dropped by another Rs 2,500, closing at Rs 456,962, marking the second consecutive day of sharp declines following Tuesday’s crash.

For perspective, gold was priced at Rs 235,000 per tola at the end of 2024. Even after the sharp correction in late December, investors who entered the market at the start of 2025 continued to enjoy substantial returns.

The late-December sell-off in precious metals was part of a broader global trend, with international gold retreating to $4,346 per ounce. However, the strong annual performance was driven by a powerful global rally, as gold surged from around $2,730 in 2024.
