Alongside the per tola movement, the price of 10 grams of 24-karat gold in Pakistan dropped by Rs2,572 on October 22, settling at Rs369,972. This adjustment aligns the smaller weight quote with the broader downward shift in the domestic gold market.
For 22-karat gold, 10-gram prices also moved lower. The rate for 10 grams of 22-karat gold declined by Rs2,358, bringing the new level to Rs339,153. These changes provide a clearer picture of pricing across purity levels, affecting a wide range of jewellery and investment purchases.
Two-day trend in domestic bullion prices
The latest drop followed an earlier adjustment on October 21, 2026, when the per tola price of 24-karat gold declined to Rs434,536 after a Rs900 decrease during the day. This set the stage for the steeper move seen on October 22.
Taken together, the changes on October 21 and 22 amount to a total two-day decline of Rs3,900 per tola for 24-karat gold in Pakistan. The sequence indicates that the market has been in a brief but pronounced downward phase across consecutive trading sessions.
International gold prices move lower
The adjustment in Pakistan mirrored a decline in international gold prices. The global rate for gold fell by $30, bringing the international price to $4,090 per ounce on October 22, 2026.
This international move provided the backdrop for the domestic pricing changes, as local bullion rates typically reflect shifts in the global market. The simultaneous decline in both per tola and per ounce benchmarks highlights a broad global easing in gold prices during the period.
