Gold prices in Pakistan fell again on Saturday, 24 October 2026. According to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA) bulletin reported today, the price of 24-karat gold dropped by Rs2,500 per tola to Rs422,036. Business Recorder, which first reported the day’s movement, describes this as the fifth consecutive daily fall in local gold prices.
There is one point readers should understand before comparing today’s figures with this morning’s update. The Karachi sarafa board posted at 5:00 AM PKT today showed 24K gold at Rs421,800 per tola, while the later APGJSA bulletin puts it at Rs422,036. The Rs236 gap between the two reporting points is normal inter-source variation, not a mistake in either figure — this guide explains why below, and gives you the full karat table, the verified week trend, and the checks to run before you buy or sell.
This guide covers only figures that can be tied to a published bulletin or to readinfoss.com’s own earlier verified updates. Where a figure is calculated from the 24K benchmark rather than published by the association, it is clearly labelled as calculated. Making charges, wastage and shop margins are never included in these benchmark rates.

What Are Today’s Gold Rates in Pakistan?
On the APGJSA bulletin, today’s benchmark rates for 24 October 2026 are as follows. The 22K, 21K and 18K figures in this table are calculated from the 24K benchmark using standard purity ratios — they are not separately published APGJSA figures, and your jeweller’s quote may differ slightly.
| Purity | Per Tola | Per 10 Grams | Per Gram (calculated) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K (99.9% pure) | Rs422,036 | Rs361,827 | Rs36,183 |
| 22K (916 hallmark) | Rs386,866 | Rs331,675 | Rs33,168 |
| 21K (875) | Rs369,282 | Rs316,599 | — |
| 18K (750) | Rs316,527 | Rs271,370 | — |
| Silver | Rs5,858 | — | — |
For context, 22K is the purity used for almost all bridal and traditional jewellery in Pakistan, while 24K is mainly used for investment bars, coins and biscuits because it is too soft for everyday wear. One tola equals 11.6638 grams, and one troy ounce equals 31.1035 grams.
How the Week’s Fall Adds Up
The “fifth consecutive day” description comes from Business Recorder’s report. Readinfoss.com’s own verified updates confirm the direction and size of the recent slide, even though the full five-day series has not been independently reconstructed here. The verified points are:
| Reporting point | 24K per tola | Day’s move |
|---|---|---|
| 22 October 2026 close | Rs429,500 | Down Rs3,000 on the day |
| 23 October 2026, morning board | Rs426,500 | Down Rs3,000 |
| 23 October 2026, APGJSA close | Rs424,536 | Down Rs7,000 |
| 24 October 2026, morning board | Rs421,800 | Down Rs400 |
| 24 October 2026, APGJSA bulletin | Rs422,036 | Down Rs2,500 vs Friday’s close |
Two things stand out. First, Friday’s Rs7,000 single-day drop was the largest move of the week — today’s Rs2,500 fall is smaller, which suggests the pace of the decline is easing rather than accelerating. Second, the week has taken roughly Rs7,500 off the 24K tola rate from the 22 October close of Rs429,500 to today’s Rs422,036 on the association series. Silver has eased alongside gold: from Rs6,086 per tola on Thursday morning to Rs5,865 on Friday and Rs5,858 today.
Why Is Gold Falling?
The immediate trigger reported today is the international market: gold fell by $25 to $3,995 per troy ounce, after falling $70 to $4,020 on Friday. Local prices in Pakistan track the international bullion price closely, converted at the open-market rupee rate, so a weaker global price pulls the local board rate down with it.
Beyond that single-day trigger, gold prices generally respond to a mix of forces: the strength of the US dollar, expectations about interest rates, and investor demand for safe-haven assets. No single one of those factors has been confirmed as the specific cause of this week’s slide in the reporting reviewed for this guide, and readers should be cautious of any claim that pins a multi-day move on one headline. What is confirmed is the price chain itself: the international price is down two sessions in a row, and the local association rate has followed it down.
For buyers, the practical meaning is simple: gold is cheaper than it was a week ago, but the market is still moving daily. A fall of Rs2,500 in one session can reverse just as quickly if the international price rebounds, so today’s rate should not be treated as a floor.
Morning Board vs Association Bulletin: Why Two Rates Today?
Readers comparing this article with this morning’s gold rate update will notice two different 24K figures for the same day: Rs421,800 on the Karachi board at 5:00 AM PKT, and Rs422,036 in the later APGJSA bulletin. This is not an error, and it is not unusual.
The two figures come from different reporting points in the day. The morning board is the early Karachi quote; the association bulletin reflects the day’s consolidated market position, including the international market’s overnight move. A gap of Rs236 — about 0.06% — sits well within the normal range of variation between reporting points, and individual shops routinely quote Rs100–500 above or below the benchmark depending on local demand and stock.
The honest way to use today’s numbers is this: treat Rs422,036 as the day’s association benchmark, treat the morning’s Rs421,800 as the early-market quote, and confirm the final price with your own jeweller before paying. Any shop quote that is thousands of rupees away from both figures deserves a second opinion.
How to Check Today’s Gold Rate Before You Buy
- Start from the association benchmark. Note today’s APGJSA figure — 24K Rs422,036 per tola, 10 grams Rs361,827 — and use it as your reference, not a social media post or a forwarded message.
- Ask your jeweller for the day’s board rate first. Before discussing any design, ask what per-tola rate they are charging today, and compare it with the benchmark. A gap of a few hundred rupees is normal; a gap of thousands is not.
- Separate the gold value from making charges. Ask for the gold value, making charges and wastage to be shown as separate lines on the bill. Benchmark rates never include making charges.
- Check the weight on the spot. Have the item weighed in front of you and confirm the karat marking (916 for 22K). Keep the receipt, which should show weight, purity and the rate applied.
- Re-check if you are selling. If you are selling old gold, get quotes from two shops. Buy-back rates are usually slightly below the selling benchmark, and the difference should be small and explained.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Treating a morning quote as the whole day’s rate. Rates move during the day; today’s morning board (Rs421,800) and the association bulletin (Rs422,036) already differ. Always check the latest figure before paying.
- Mixing up per-tola and per-10-gram prices. Rs361,827 is the 10-gram price, not the tola price. Confirm which weight any quoted figure refers to.
- Assuming the benchmark includes making charges. It does not. Jewellery will always cost more than the benchmark gold value once making charges and wastage are added.
- Trusting forwarded “gold crash” messages. Viral messages often reuse old figures. Cross-check any claim against a published bulletin or a jeweller’s board.
- Buying on a single day’s fall alone. A Rs2,500 drop after a Rs7,000 drop does not guarantee the price will keep falling. Buy on your own need and budget, not on momentum alone.
FAQs
What is the gold price in Pakistan today, 24 October 2026?
On the APGJSA bulletin, 24K gold is Rs422,036 per tola, down Rs2,500 from Friday. Ten grams of 24K gold is Rs361,827, and silver is Rs5,858 per tola.
Why is today’s rate different from this morning’s Rs421,800?
The Rs421,800 figure was the Karachi board’s early-morning quote at 5:00 AM PKT. The Rs422,036 figure is the later APGJSA bulletin for the day. The Rs236 gap is normal variation between reporting points in the same day.
What does “fifth consecutive day” of falls mean?
Business Recorder describes today’s decline as the fifth straight daily fall in local gold prices. Readinfoss.com’s verified chain confirms falls on 22 October (Rs3,000), 23 October (Rs3,000 in the morning and Rs7,000 by the close) and today (Rs2,500 on the association series).
What is the 22K gold price today?
Calculated from the 24K benchmark, 22K gold is approximately Rs386,866 per tola and Rs331,675 per 10 grams. This is a calculated figure, not a separately published association rate, so confirm the final quote with your jeweller.
What is the silver rate today?
Silver is Rs5,858 per tola on the APGJSA bulletin, down Rs7 from Friday’s Rs5,865.
What is the international gold price today?
International gold fell $25 to $3,995 per troy ounce, following Friday’s $70 fall to $4,020. The international price is the main driver of local board rates.
Is gold expected to fall further?
That is not confirmed. Today’s fall is smaller than Friday’s Rs7,000 drop, which may mean the decline is easing, but gold prices can reverse quickly if the international market rebounds. No forecast in this guide should be treated as investment advice.
Where can I verify the rate myself?
Ask your local sarafa jeweller for the day’s board rate, compare it with the APGJSA benchmark figures in this article, and keep the receipt showing weight, purity and rate applied.
Final Thoughts
Gold in Pakistan has now fallen for a fifth consecutive day on Business Recorder’s count, with the APGJSA bulletin putting 24K at Rs422,036 per tola on 24 October 2026 — Rs2,500 lower than Friday and roughly Rs7,500 below the 22 October close on the association series. The pace of the fall has eased since Friday’s sharp Rs7,000 drop, and silver has edged down with it to Rs5,858 per tola.
For buyers, the message is practical, not speculative: use the association benchmark as your reference, expect small differences between the morning board and the day’s bulletin, separate gold value from making charges on the bill, and confirm the final price with your jeweller before paying. Rates change daily, and only the day’s published bulletin — not a forwarded message — is a safe basis for a purchase.
