The Ultimate Guide
Understanding Gold Trading in Pakistan
Gold prices in Pakistan are primarily driven by the international spot market price (XAU/USD) and the current USD/PKR exchange rate. Local bullion markets in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad typically set the daily rates based on these factors plus a small local premium.
Units of Measure
While the world uses Ounces (31.1035g), Pakistan uses the Tola. 1 Tola is precisely 11.664 grams. Smaller units include the Masha (0.972g) and Ratti (0.121g).
Purity Levels
24K is pure gold. 22K is commonly used for durable jewelry.18K contains more alloys (75% gold) and is often used for diamond settings.
How are Gold Rates Calculated?
To calculate the local Tola price manually:
- Take the international spot price (e.g., $2300 per ounce).
- Divide by 31.1035 to get the price per gram in USD.
- Multiply by 11.664 to get the price per Tola in USD.
- Multiply by the interbank USD/PKR rate.
- Add the local market premium (usually 1-2%).
