Key Market Drivers
Pakistan
As a net importer of gold, Pakistan’s market closely follows global price movements. Exchange rate fluctuations and higher import costs magnify global trends locally. Investor sentiment also plays a key role, as economic uncertainties push more people toward gold as a secure asset.
Global
Gold continued to serve as a safe-haven asset in August 2025. Rising geopolitical tensions, inflation concerns, and uncertainty in financial markets increased demand. Market analysts are divided in their projections: while some expect prices to climb to $3,600–$4,000 per ounce by mid-2026, others, including Citi, warn of a potential pullback below $3,000 if global growth accelerates.
Snapshot: Pakistan vs. Global Prices
| Market | Early August | Mid-August | Late August |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pakistan | Rs 353,000 | Rs 357,000 | Rs 364,000 |
| Global | $3,366 | $3,344 | $3,411 |
Here’s the Conclusion!
Gold prices in August 2025 showed a strong upward trend in both Pakistan and global markets. A temporary mid-month decline gave way to a late surge, marking some of the highest values seen this year. In Pakistan, gold rose nearly 3% by month’s end, while globally, the metal gained about $45 per ounce. These movements were largely driven by macroeconomic uncertainty, currency fluctuations, and a shift toward safe investments.
