Overview
- Pakistan’s All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association reported 24K gold at Rs454,336 per tola on Friday, Aug 7, 2026, an increase of Rs5,100 from the prior session.
- Global spot gold rose about $51 to roughly $4,319 per ounce on the same day, and Indian MCX futures also moved higher as international bullion markets strengthened.
- Analysts pointed to a shift toward a less aggressive US Federal Reserve stance plus geopolitical developments and lower oil prices as the main forces behind the rally.
- Domestic prices moved quickly because Pakistan is a net gold importer and city Sarafa associations and APGJSA fix local rates using international quotes, the rupee’s value and a reported $20 per ounce premium.
- Silver also firmed, supported by tight physical stocks and industrial demand, and market commentators warn near-term volatility around US nonfarm payrolls and technical resistance near the current dollar levels.
