Pakistan Gold Prices Hit New Record High for Third Straight Day
Gold prices in Pakistan surged for the third consecutive day on Saturday, August 22, 2026, reaching a new record high of Rs 482,936 per tola. The price increase of Rs 5,700 marks a significant jump from yesterday's rate of Rs 477,136.
The international gold market also saw a rise in prices, with the global rate per ounce increasing by $57 to settle at $4,604. This increase is likely due to foreign safe-haven demand as central banks navigate economic adjustments and bond yield fluctuations overseas.
