Gold prices in Pakistan recorded a significant increase on February 15, 2026, following a strong rally in the international bullion market. The sharp upward trend has pushed gold rates to new highs, impacting buyers, investors, and traders across the country.
The recent increase comes after global gold prices surged, reversing earlier weekly losses and strengthening the local bullion market.
Latest Gold Prices in Pakistan – February 15, 2026
According to market data, the latest gold prices for different purities are:
| Purity | Price Per Tola | Price Per 10 Grams |
| 24 Karat | Rs. 526,962 | Rs. 451,784 |
| 22 Karat | Rs. 483,048 | Rs. 414,135 |
| 21 Karat | Rs. 461,091 | Rs. 395,311 |
| 18 Karat | Rs. 395,221 | Rs. 338,838 |
The rise in gold prices reflects strong demand in global markets and currency fluctuations, which directly influence domestic bullion rates.
International Market Drives Local Price Increase
Gold prices surged globally, gaining nearly $70 per ounce and settling around $5,042 per ounce. Market analysts say this global rally is the primary factor behind the sharp increase in Pakistan’s gold prices.
International gold rates heavily influence local markets because Pakistan imports most of its gold. Any increase in global bullion prices is quickly reflected in domestic rates.
Recent Market Fluctuations
The gold market experienced notable volatility earlier in the week. Prices witnessed a major slump, dropping by more than Rs. 8,000 per tola in a single day. However, the latest weekend surge has reversed most of those losses.
Experts believe that fluctuations in the global economy, currency exchange rates, and investment demand are contributing to rapid changes in gold prices.
City-Wise Gold Price Differences
Although the base gold rate is usually determined in Karachi, slight variations can occur in other major cities due to transportation costs and dealer profit margins.
Minor price differences may be seen in:
- Lahore
- Islamabad
- Peshawar
These differences usually range within a few hundred rupees per tola depending on local market conditions.
Impact on Buyers and Investors
The latest price surge is expected to impact both consumers and investors. Jewelry buyers may face higher purchasing costs, especially with the wedding season approaching, while investors often consider gold a safe investment during periods of economic uncertainty.
Financial experts suggest that gold continues to remain a reliable hedge against inflation and currency depreciation.
Market Outlook for 2026
Market analysts predict that gold prices may remain volatile throughout 2026 due to global economic trends, geopolitical developments, and inflation concerns. Investors are advised to closely monitor international bullion trends before making buying or selling decisions.
