Gold prices in Pakistan remain unchanged today, Sunday, January 4, 2026, as bullion markets across the country are officially closed. The rates currently in circulation are based on Saturday evening’s closing figures. After a highly volatile and record-breaking first week of 2026, investors and buyers are closely monitoring the international market opening on Monday to assess whether the bullish trend will continue or a short-term correction may occur.
Gold Rates Today in Pakistan (Jan 4, 2026)
The table below reflects the official closing rates issued on Saturday, which are considered valid nationwide throughout Sunday.
| Gold Purity | Weight | Rate (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| 24K Gold | Per Tola | Rs. 467,000 |
| 24K Gold | 10 Grams | Rs. 400,380 |
| 22K Gold | Per Tola | Rs. 428,196 |
| 22K Gold | 10 Grams | Rs. 367,015 |
These rates apply across major cities including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Peshawar, as no fresh pricing activity takes place on Sundays.
Silver Rate Today
Silver prices have also remained firm following a strong upward movement during the past week. Like gold, silver is trading at Saturday’s closing levels.
| Metal | Weight | Price (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| Silver | Per Tola | Rs. 7,756 |
| Silver | 10 Grams | Rs. 6,650 |
The rise in silver has attracted investors looking for comparatively lower-priced precious metal options amid soaring gold prices.
Why Gold Prices Are Stable on Sunday
All major Sarafa Bazaars in Pakistan remain closed on Sundays, meaning no official trading or price revision occurs. The absence of market activity keeps prices static throughout the day. While some small jewelers may sell gold on Sunday, these sales often include an additional premium ranging from Rs. 500 to Rs. 1,000 per tola due to weekend risk and lack of official rate confirmation. Buyers planning large purchases generally wait until Monday afternoon, when the new official rate is released.
Weekly Gold Price Trend – First Week of 2026
The first week of 2026 has marked a historic phase for the gold market in Pakistan, with prices reaching record highs amid strong global and local factors.
| Weekly Indicator | Details |
|---|---|
| Highest Price | Rs. 467,000 per tola |
| Market Direction | Strong Bullish |
| Demand Level | Very High |
This upward trend reflects increased investor demand and heightened economic uncertainty, pushing gold into a strong safe-haven position.
Key Reasons Behind the Surge
The sharp increase in gold prices is primarily linked to international and domestic economic conditions. Global gold prices crossed $4,360 per ounce, while the Pakistani Rupee weakened against the US Dollar. These factors, combined with rising inflation concerns and increased investor demand, fueled aggressive buying throughout the week. Silver followed a similar trajectory, benefiting from spillover demand.
Gold Rate Outlook for Monday
When markets reopen on Monday, January 5, 2026, analysts expect significant volatility. If the international market opens on a positive note, local gold prices may move beyond Rs. 468,000 per tola. However, a brief correction remains possible if investors opt for profit booking, which could bring prices closer to the Rs. 464,000 range. Monday morning’s global market trend will play a decisive role in shaping local prices by midday.
