Gold opened the new month with upward momentum — and the reasons sit in Washington, Tel Aviv, and the Pakistan Stock Exchange simultaneously.
The Gold Rate in Pakistan Today stands at Rs476,162 per tola for 24K gold, up Rs1,300 from the previous session, as Daily Pakistan confirmed in their morning rate release. The 10-gram rate jumped Rs1,115 to settle at Rs408,232. Experts cited by Pakistan Observer are predicting further fluctuations in today’s trading session amid ongoing Middle East tensions.

Silver moved against gold today — down Rs21 to Rs8,013 per tola. While gold climbed on geopolitical demand, silver’s mild retreat reflects a more nuanced precious metals picture heading into the new trading week.

| Premium (Pakistan market) | $20 | — |

Why the Gold Rate in Pakistan Today Is Rising
Three interconnected forces are driving the gold rate in Pakistan today upward as June opens:
1. Iran Deal Still Not Signed
Trump held a Situation Room meeting last week and left without a decision. Express Tribune confirmed oil rose again Monday as the US and Iran traded new strikes over the weekend and Israel deepened its Lebanon operations. Unresolved geopolitical conflict keeps gold demand elevated.
2. Israel Expands Lebanon Invasion
Netanyahu instructed the Israeli military to expand operations in Lebanon after capturing the strategic Beaufort Castle — a move Lebanon’s Prime Minister called a “scorched-earth policy.” Every escalation in the Middle East sends a new wave of safe-haven buying into gold markets.
3. PSX Crash Drives Capital into Gold
The Pakistan Stock Exchange lost over 2,000 points today as bears took control. When equity markets fall sharply, a portion of that exiting capital typically flows into gold as a safer alternative — adding domestic demand pressure on top of international price gains.
4. June Wedding Season
Pakistan’s wedding season has begun. Physical gold demand from jewellery buyers across Karachi’s Sarafa Bazaar and Lahore’s bullion markets picks up meaningfully through June.
