Today’s gold rates in Karachi and Pakistan, July 16, 2026:
- Gold, 24K per tola: Rs. 425,436 (+400)
- Gold, 24K per 10 grams: Rs. 364,742 (+343)

International gold prices also edged marginally higher, rising by $4 to settle at $4,030 per ounce, continuing the cautious recovery that had begun on Wednesday after Tuesday’s sharp fall had brought global rates dangerously close to the $4,000 mark.
The small uptick in global gold rates was reflected in domestic pricing, with today’s gold rates in Karachi advancing modestly across all categories throughout Thursday’s session.
While the gain is contained, the back-to-back positive sessions of Wednesday and Thursday mark the first two-day recovery streak since the market’s difficult run began in mid-July.
Gold Rates in Karachi Post a Second Consecutive Session of Gains
Thursday’s modest advance follows Wednesday’s small recovery of Rs. 900 per tola, which had itself come after Tuesday’s steep decline of Rs. 5,600 per tola and Monday’s fall of Rs. 3,800 per tola.

Together, Monday and Tuesday had taken a combined Rs. 9,400 per tola off domestic gold prices in one of the sharpest two-day declines seen since the brutal June correction.
Wednesday and Thursday have now added a combined Rs. 1,300 per tola back to today’s gold rates in Karachi, a modest but encouraging start to what could develop into a more meaningful recovery if the positive momentum can be sustained.
The market’s tone has clearly improved compared to the depths of Monday and Tuesday, even if the gains so far remain small in absolute terms.

Internationally, gold at $4,030 per ounce has now moved a little more comfortably above the key $4,000 threshold, which is an encouraging sign for near-term stability.
Market Outlook Cautiously Improving
Gold rates in Pakistan continue to be shaped by a mix of global economic signals, currency movements, and investor sentiment.
Two consecutive sessions of modest gains is a positive development after a painful stretch, though the scale of the recovery remains far too small to signal any definitive change in the broader picture.
Traders and investors will be watching closely whether gold rates in Karachi can continue to build on the back-to-back gains of Wednesday and Thursday, or whether the market settles back into the uncertain and volatile pattern that has dominated trading since the start of the month.
All rates are officially certified by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association, based on interbank exchange rates for 999 purity (24K).
