Gold market trends in Pakistan on 05 May 2026 reveal a structured pricing pattern across all purity levels, highlighting steady demand in both investment and jewellery segments.
At the top end, 24K gold remains the benchmark for investors, priced at Rs. 478,500 per tola. Its per gram value stands at Rs. 41,024, reinforcing its status as a primary hedge against inflation and currency depreciation.
The 22K gold segment, commonly used in jewellery, is priced at Rs. 438,738 per tola, while 21K gold stands at Rs. 418,796 per tola, reflecting its growing use in mid-range consumer jewellery.
Lower purity categories such as 20K and 18K gold continue to attract budget-conscious buyers, with prices at Rs. 398,853 and Rs. 358,968 per tola, respectively. These segments are increasingly popular in lightweight and fashion-orientated jewellery designs.
Experts suggest that the current stability in gold prices is linked to balanced international market signals and controlled local demand. However, they caution that any movement in the global dollar index or crude oil prices could quickly influence domestic rates.
Gold continues to play a critical role in Pakistan’s household investment strategy, especially during inflationary cycles and seasonal buying periods.
