Karachi: The gold market in Pakistan witnessed a notable upward trend as the prices closed higher at the end of trading on January 9, 2026. The day began with gold opening at Rs. 468,000 per tola, and by the evening, it had climbed to Rs. 469,950, marking a net increase of Rs. 1,950.
This rise in domestic gold prices comes amid fluctuating trends in the international market, where gold is currently priced at $4,509.80 per ounce. The increase in local prices reflects the growing demand and market adjustments in response to the international rates.
Analysts attribute today’s price hike to several factors, including ongoing geopolitical tensions and currency fluctuations, which have driven investors towards the safe haven of gold. The persistent global economic uncertainties continue to impact the commodity markets, making gold an attractive choice for investors seeking stability.
Furthermore, the local currency’s performance against the US dollar also plays a pivotal role in shaping the gold prices in Pakistan. Recent depreciation of the rupee against the dollar has further contributed to the rise in gold prices, as it becomes costlier to import the precious metal.
Traditionally, the demand for gold in Pakistan remains robust due to its cultural significance in weddings and as a form of investment. With the wedding season underway, the demand is expected to sustain, potentially influencing prices in the coming weeks.
As the market closes, experts advise investors to keep a close watch on international developments and currency movements to make informed decisions regarding gold investments. The trajectory of gold prices will largely depend on these external factors, coupled with local market dynamics.
