Gold Ends 2025 With Major Loss in Pakistan as Prices Drop by Rs. 2,500
Pakistan’s gold market closed the year 2025 on a negative note as gold prices witnessed another major fall in the local market. The precious metal remained under selling pressure throughout the day, leading to a sharp decline in value and ending the year in red.
According to the latest data released by the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA), the gold price in Pakistan dropped by Rs. 2,500 per tola on Wednesday. With this decline, the price of gold per tola settled at Rs. 456,962 in the local bullion market.
Along with the per tola price, the price of 10-gram gold also saw a clear reduction. The 10-gram gold rate decreased by Rs. 2,143, bringing the new price down to Rs. 391,771.
This fresh drop came just a day after a massive fall recorded on Tuesday, when the gold price slipped by Rs. 10,700 per tola, showing that the local gold market went through continuous pressure in the closing days of the year.
Gold Prices Face Continued Pressure Before Year-End
The last few months of 2025 remained quite unstable for the gold market in Pakistan. Prices moved up and down frequently due to changes in global gold trends, currency movement, and local market dynamics. However, the final trading days of the year clearly turned negative for the precious metal.
Two-Day Decline Shows Weak Sentiment
The back-to-back drops of Rs. 10,700 followed by Rs. 2,500 reflect that investor confidence weakened sharply. Many traders shifted towards profit-taking and waited for the new year’s market direction. This consistent decline created uncertainty among gold buyers, jewellers and investors.
International Gold Prices Also Declined
The downward trend in Pakistan’s gold market was also supported by international market developments. Global gold prices recorded a noticeable fall as well.
Internationally, gold prices slipped by $25, settling around $4,346 per ounce (including a $20 premium). The drop in the global market directly influenced local prices, as Pakistani gold rates mostly follow international price trends combined with currency impact.
Factors such as global economic conditions, changes in international demand, and market speculation played a role in pushing gold prices downward worldwide.
Silver Prices Also Move Lower in Pakistan
Not only gold, but silver also faced a decline in the Pakistani precious metals market. Silver prices in the local market dropped by Rs. 212 per tola, bringing the new silver rate to Rs. 7,718 per tola.
This shows that the overall precious metals market sentiment remained weak in Pakistan towards the end of 2025.
Why Are Gold Prices Falling in Pakistan?
There are several possible reasons behind the recent decline in gold prices in Pakistan. Some of the key factors include:
🔸 Movement in International Gold Market
Since Pakistan follows global price trends, any major shift in the international market automatically impacts local prices. The recent drop in global gold rates pushed Pakistani prices downward.
🔸 Currency Stability and Market Sentiment
The Pakistani Rupee has shown some stability against the US Dollar recently. A stable currency often reduces pressure on gold prices. Additionally, many traders preferred to wait for new year market conditions, resulting in lower buying activity.
🔸 Profit-Taking by Investors
Gold had seen high levels in previous months. Many investors who bought earlier at higher prices likely sold their holdings to secure profit, contributing to downward pressure.
Impact on Buyers and Investors
The fall in gold prices creates mixed reactions among different segments of the market.
🟢 Good News for Buyers
For people planning to buy jewellery, bridal sets, or gold ornaments, the drop in price brings some relief. Lower rates make gold slightly more affordable for the general public.
🔴 Concern for Investors and Jewellers
On the other hand, investors who purchased gold at higher prices may face losses. Jewellers also face uncertainty as price fluctuations affect their business planning.
Gold Market Performance Throughout 2025
The year 2025 remained full of ups and downs for Pakistan’s gold market. The commodity touched multiple high levels during the year due to global uncertainty, inflation concerns, and safe-haven demand. However, the closing weeks of the year turned negative.
Despite ending in red, gold still remained one of the most discussed commodities in the country throughout the year.
What to Expect Next?
With the year now closed, all focus shifts toward how gold will perform in early 2026. Market analysts believe that gold prices will continue to depend on:
- International gold market movement
- Pakistan’s economic conditions
- Rupee-Dollar exchange rate
- Investor sentiment and demand trends
If global prices recover, Pakistan’s market may also see a rebound. However, if international weakness continues, local gold may remain under pressure.
