Gold became more expensive in Pakistan on Saturday, October 10, 2026, as the price of one tola rose by Rs1,100 to Rs442,036 in the local market. The increase followed the direction of the international bullion market, where the price of gold climbed by $11 to reach $4,195 per ounce. The latest rates were shared by the All Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association and were reported consistently by market sources covering the day’s trading.
Latest gold rates for October 10
The price of 10 grams of gold also moved higher, rising by Rs943 to settle at Rs378,974. For buyers who track the market by tola, the day’s gain means a standard purchase now costs Rs1,100 more than it did at the previous close, before any making charges or jeweller level adjustments are added at the counter.
Saturday’s increase was the second consecutive daily rise. On Friday, the price of gold per tola had already surged by Rs5,900 to reach Rs440,936. Taken together, the two sessions have added Rs7,000 to the cost of one tola in just two days, a sharp move for families planning jewellery purchases and for small investors who buy gold in physical form.
Silver also moves higher
Silver followed the same direction on Saturday. The price of silver increased by Rs43 to reach Rs6,555 per tola in the local market. Silver is often bought alongside gold for jewellery and household items, so a combined rise in both metals increases the total bill for customers who visit sarafa markets for wedding or family purchases.
Why local rates follow the international market
Gold traded in Pakistan is priced with close reference to the international market, where the metal is quoted in US dollars per ounce. When the global price rises, local rates usually adjust in the same direction, although the final amount a customer pays can still differ from one shop to another. Readers who want to understand the currency side of that calculation can check the USD to PKR exchange rate today, because the rupee value of every dollar priced ounce is worked out through that rate.
Jewellers may also add making charges that depend on the design and weight of an item, and buy back terms can vary between markets. That is why the association rate works best as a reference point for the day. Before paying, customers should confirm the purity of the metal, the exact weight, the making charges being applied and the rate the shop will use if the item is sold back later.
What the two day rise means for buyers
A two day increase of Rs7,000 per tola changes the arithmetic for anyone close to completing a purchase. A buyer purchasing five tola of gold, for example, would pay Rs35,000 more on the metal value alone compared with the rate before Friday’s rise, again before making charges. Buyers who do not need to complete a purchase immediately often watch the next few sessions to see whether the international price holds above its latest level or settles back.
The same movement affects people comparing gold with everyday household costs. Fuel, food and transport expenses are tracked daily by most families, and our report on the petrol price in Pakistan today for October 10 shows the other side of the weekly budget, while the flour market update explains how Karachi flour prices and the Sindh wheat release are shaping food spending this month.
What to check before you buy or sell
Market participants say the safest routine on a fast moving day is to confirm the live rate from more than one jeweller in the same market, ask for the weight and purity to be written clearly on the receipt, and keep that receipt for any future sale or exchange. Sellers should also ask whether the quoted buy back rate follows the day’s association price and what deduction, if any, the shop applies.
Further daily movements in precious metals and other household costs will be added to our latest prices in Pakistan coverage as new association rates are announced. For now, the confirmed position for Saturday, October 10 is gold at Rs442,036 per tola, 10 grams at Rs378,974, international gold at $4,195 per ounce and silver at Rs6,555 per tola.
