ISLAMABAD: Gold prices in Pakistan hit unprecedented levels on Monday, October 6, 2025, as international bullion markets surged and demand for safe-haven assets strengthened amid ongoing global uncertainties.

Silver prices also followed the upward trend, with the 24-karat silver tola gaining Rs 53 to Rs 4,949, and 10 grams of silver rising by Rs 45 to Rs 4,242, as reported by Samaa TV.
On the international front, gold prices surged by $54 to $3,940 per ounce, driven by geopolitical tensions, inflation concerns, and a weaker US dollar, prompting investors to seek gold as a safe-haven asset.
Market analysts told ProPakistani that the global rally in precious metals underpinned the steep rise in domestic prices.
The sharp increase in gold prices has implications for various sectors in Pakistan. Investors may see opportunities for capital gains, while consumers face higher costs for jewellery and other gold-related products.
Experts advise stakeholders to remain alert to global economic developments and their potential impact on domestic prices, according to the Express Tribune.
As global conditions continue to evolve, the outlook for gold remains dynamic, with investors and consumers closely monitoring developments to make informed decisions amid fluctuating prices.
