KARACHI: Silver prices in Pakistan rose modestly on Wednesday, with the precious metal trading at Rs. 8,163 per tola in major Sarafa markets, supported by firm international cues and steady domestic investment demand, ARY News reported on April 29, 2026.
According to market updates from Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad bullion exchanges, silver gained ground after international spot prices held near $78 per troy ounce. The local currency’s relative stability against the US dollar helped contain volatility in rupee-denominated rates.
Todays silver rates in Pakistan for pure 999-fine silver remained broadly uniform across major cities, with minor variations of Rs. 20-40 per tola observed in Peshawar and Quetta due to regional logistics and demand patterns. The table below summarizes the rates:
Unit Price (PKR): 1 Tola (24K/999) – Rs. 8,163; 10 Grams – Rs. 6,998; 1 Gram – Rs. 699.8; 1 Kilogram – ~Rs. 699,800
City-wise rate snapshot: Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Faisalabad all recorded Rs. 8,163 per tola, while Peshawar and Quetta saw Rs. 8,130 per tola. The rate per 10 grams in the first group was Rs. 6,998, and in the latter two cities Rs. 6,970.
Looking ahead, traders expect silver to consolidate between Rs. 8,100-8,300 per tola in the coming sessions, pending fresh cues from US economic data and PKR-USD movements. “Physical demand ahead of the South Asian wedding season could provide additional support. Silver remains an attractive option for middle-income savers seeking tangible assets,” said a Lahore-based bullion dealer. But buyers should verify purity and compare dealer premiums before transacting.
For buyers, the following tips are essential: always request hallmark certification (999 fineness) for purity assurance; compare rates across at least three dealers to secure fair pricing; store physical holdings securely, with bank lockers recommended for larger quantities; and track international silver prices via trusted portals like Kitco for broader market context. Jewelry purchases will carry additional making charges (typically 10-25%) plus applicable taxes, so investment-focused buyers are generally advised to opt for bars or coins with lower premiums.
