 📉 Precious Metals Prices Slide in Pakistan: Historic Drop in Gold & Silver – 31 January 2026

KARACHI / ISLAMABAD — Gold and silver markets in Pakistan witnessed a sharp downward correction on Saturday, 31 January 2026, as prices plunged for the second consecutive day following global sell-offs in bullion markets.


📊 Price Movements — Pakistan Markets (Jan 31, 2026)

24K gold per tola: ~Rs. 511,862 (down approx. Rs. 25,500)

24K gold per 10g: ~Rs. 438,839 (down approx. Rs. 21,862)

Silver per tola: ~Rs. 9,006 (down approx. Rs. 2,063)

Silver per 10g: ~Rs. 7,721 (down approx. Rs. 1,768)

All rates according to the All-Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association.



🌍 Global Trends Influence Local Prices

The slide in local gold and silver prices reflects broader international trends. On the global bullion market, gold dropped sharply by about $255 per ounce to around $4,895, while silver also corrected significantly.

Analysts attribute the pullback to profit-taking by investors after recent record highs, a strengthening US dollar, and shifts in global monetary expectations following major Federal Reserve leadership news.

 

📉 Historic Correction Following Record Highs

Earlier in the week, both metals had reached multi-year peaks, with gold surpassing and then quickly relinquishing those levels. This marked one of the most volatile stretches for bullion in recent history.

The sharp reductions locally came on the heels of a steep one-day drop of roughly Rs35,500 per tola recorded on Friday — one of the largest single-day declines ever in the domestic market.



💱 Dollar & Rupee: Currency Dynamics

Although the local US dollar/PKR exchange rate experienced minor fluctuations this week, downward pressure on global bullion prices played a larger role in driving local gold and silver corrections.

📌 What This Means for Buyers & Investors

Consumers: Jewelry buyers may find the recent price correction offers more favorable purchase conditions compared with last week’s peaks.

Investors: Those holding bullion could face short-term volatility risk, especially after recent sharp swings in both international and local markets.
