Gold Price Rollercoaster in Pakistan: Current Rs. 526K+ Per Tola – Predictions for Years Ahead

latest update as of February 15, 2026 (mid-month rates from local bullion markets like Karachi, Lahore, and Multan Sarafa).
Today’s Gold Rates in Pakistan (February 15, 2026):
- 24K Gold (Pure/999): Around Rs. 526,962 per tola (that’s the standard benchmark).
- Per 10 grams: ~Rs. 451,785
- Per 1 gram: ~Rs. 45,178
- 22K Gold (common for jewelry): Around Rs. 483,173 per tola
- Per 10 grams: ~Rs. 414,137
- 21K Gold (also popular): Around Rs. 454,000–460,000 per tola range (varies slightly by city).
In Multan Sarafa Market, rates are usually very close to national averages – maybe a few hundred rupees difference due to local demand. Right now, gold has been fluctuating a bit: It dipped a little mid-February after hitting highs earlier in the month, but it’s holding strong overall.
Quick math for you:
- 1 tola (about 11.66 grams) at Rs. 526,962 means a small family heirloom piece could cost a fortune!
- Buying 1 bhari (about 1 tola) for investment? Expect to pay around half a million rupees these days.
Why Gold Prices Are This High Right Now?
- Global gold is trading strong (around $5,000+ per ounce internationally) due to economic uncertainty, inflation fears, central bank buying, and geopolitical tensions.
- In Pakistan: Rupee weakness against the dollar, high import costs, and massive local demand (weddings, Eid, investments) keep pushing prices up.
- Recent months saw wild swings – up thousands per tola one day, down the next – but the trend is upward since last year.
Future Predictions – 2026 to 2030 Outlook Experts and trend forecasts are mostly bullish on gold – both globally and in Pakistan. Here’s a realistic summary:
- Rest of 2026: Gold could average higher, possibly pushing per tola in Pakistan toward Rs. 550,000–600,000+ if global prices hit $5,000–5,500/oz. Some see it stabilizing around Rs. 530,000–570,000 by year-end, depending on rupee stability and IMF deals.
- 2027: Many predict further gains – international forecasts point to $5,400–6,000/oz or more. In PKR terms, per tola might climb to Rs. 600,000–750,000 range if inflation persists and demand stays high.
- 2028–2030: Longer-term, optimistic views see global gold reaching $6,500–8,000+/oz. For Pakistan, that could mean Rs. 800,000–1,000,000+ per tola in extreme scenarios (or steadier at Rs. 700,000–900,000 if economy improves). Factors like dollar strength, oil prices, and global crises will decide.
Bottom line: Gold remains a solid hedge against inflation and rupee devaluation – many in Multan and across Punjab see it as “better than bank savings” right now. But prices can drop suddenly too, so timing matters!
