Pakistan's gold prices crashed by Rs43,600 per tola on 23 March 2026, the largest single-day drop ever, amid global declines and economic uncertainty.

Gold prices in Pakistan plunged sharply on 23 March 2026, with the per tola rate dropping by Rs43,600 to Rs447,762—the largest single-day fall on record—while 10-gram gold fell by Rs37,380 to Rs383,883. The decline followed a Rs116,100 drop over the past month and mirrored a global fall of $436 per ounce, bringing international prices to $4,250. Analysts cited heightened economic volatility as the cause, sparking investor concern. Despite the drop, some reports noted stable gold prices, but the significant decline was confirmed by multiple sources.
