Gold rate in Pakistan today — Tuesday, 8 September 2026, as reported by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association. Rates update multiple times a day, so treat this as a snapshot rather than a live price — always confirm with a current source before buying or selling.
Gold prices in Pakistan dipped today after a sharp pullback in the international market, pulling back some of yesterday’s gains. Here’s the full breakdown by karat, along with what’s driving today’s move.
Gold Rate Today, 8 September 2026 — All Karats
| Karat | Purity | Price per Tola | Price per 10 Grams |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K | 99.9% | Rs. 463,136 | Rs. 397,064 |
| 22K | 91.6% | Rs. 424,708 | Rs. 364,241 |
| 21K | 87.5% | Rs. 405,494 | Rs. 347,681 |
| 18K | 75% | Rs. 347,352 | Rs. 297,798 |
Silver followed gold lower, with the domestic rate down to roughly Rs. 7,059 per tola (Rs. 6,051 per 10 grams), according to the Sarafa Association’s opening rates.
Today vs. Yesterday
| Date | 24K Gold (per Tola) | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 8 September 2026 (Today) | Rs. 463,136 | ▼ Rs. 2,400 |
| 7 September 2026 (Yesterday) | Rs. 465,536 (approx.) | — |
Today’s Rs. 2,400 drop erased much of the gains made in the previous session, reflecting how quickly local rates move in step with international bullion prices.
Why Gold Dipped Today
The pullback wasn’t unique to Pakistan. In the international market, gold slid roughly $24 an ounce to around $4,406, with the local Sarafa Association’s opening quote for the day carrying a $20 premium over that. Since Pakistan’s gold rate is calculated by converting the international USD-per-ounce price into rupees using the current USD/PKR exchange rate, a drop internationally shows up almost immediately in the domestic tola rate — even without any local news driving it.
Short-term technical indicators suggest continued volatility ahead, with analysts pointing to potential support near $3,951 an ounce and possible upside extending toward $4,645, meaning today’s dip could easily reverse in either direction over the coming sessions.
A Quick Note on Rate Differences Between Sources
You may see slightly different numbers depending on where you check. Local Sarafa Association rates — used in this article — reflect the physical jewellery market rate set each morning in Karachi. Some financial data providers calculate a separate live-converted rate directly from international spot prices and the USD/PKR exchange rate, which can run a few thousand rupees higher or lower depending on the exact time of calculation. Neither is “wrong” — they simply reflect different update methods, so it’s worth checking your jeweller’s quoted rate directly before a purchase.
City-Wise Rates
Gold prices are nearly identical across Pakistan’s major cities, since Karachi’s Sarafa Bazaar sets the benchmark that other cities follow closely, typically within a few hundred rupees:
- Karachi: Rs. 452,500 – 463,136
- Lahore: Rs. 452,680 – 463,300 (approx.)
- Islamabad / Rawalpindi: Rs. 452,820 – 463,450 (approx.)
- Peshawar: Rs. 452,880 – 463,500 (approx.)
Any local variation you notice beyond this is typically a making-charge or dealer markup rather than a different underlying gold rate.
Final Thoughts
Today’s dip to Rs. 463,136 per tola for 24K gold is a reminder of just how closely Pakistan’s gold market tracks international bullion prices and the rupee’s exchange rate — a move that has nothing to do with local demand can still shift the price you pay at your neighborhood jeweller within hours. If you’re planning a purchase, check a live rate immediately beforehand rather than relying on today’s figures once a day or two has passed.
