A Week of Volatility
Monday’s sharp recovery comes after a rollercoaster week for gold prices in Pakistan. On Thursday, May 21, gold prices had surged strongly by Rs. 5,000 per tola to settle at Rs. 475,362, as international markets staged a powerful rebound following steep losses in previous sessions.
Gold prices then held flat on Friday, May 22, with the price of 24-karat gold per tola remaining unchanged at Rs. 475,362 as global markets entered a period of consolidation and traders adopted a cautious wait-and-see approach heading into the weekend.

However, Saturday, May 23, saw a reversal as gold prices dipped by Rs. 2,200 per tola to settle at Rs. 473,162, following a decline in international rates that weighed on domestic bullion markets. International gold also retreated by $22 to settle at $4,508 per ounce on Saturday, adding pressure on local prices.
Monday’s recovery of Rs. 4,600 per tola has now more than offset Saturday’s losses, bringing domestic gold prices back above the Rs. 477,000 mark and back in the vicinity of all-time high levels.
Near All-Time High Levels
Gold prices in Pakistan have been trading near historic highs in recent weeks, driven largely by strong international demand and a broader rally in global precious metals markets.
The metal has been on a significant upward trajectory over the past year, with domestic prices repeatedly breaking records in line with surging international rates.
The current price of Rs. 477,762 per tola puts gold prices within striking distance of all-time highs, and market watchers will be closely monitoring whether Monday’s recovery can be sustained in the sessions ahead or whether another period of consolidation and correction follows.

The rebound in global bullion markets on Monday provided a significant boost to investor confidence, as buyers returned to the market following Saturday’s pullback. With global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions continuing to support demand for safe-haven assets, gold remains well supported at current levels.
Market analysts will be keeping a close eye on international developments in the coming sessions to gauge whether the metal can push to fresh record levels or faces further volatility in the near term.
