Gold prices in Pakistan dropped sharply on May 31, 2025, continuing a global trend that reflects shifting investor sentiment. This Gold Price Dip 2025 saw the per tola rate fall by PKR 1,400, settling at PKR 347,200, while 10 grams of gold declined by PKR 1,200 to reach PKR 297,668.
Global Trends Push Prices Down
The decline mirrors international patterns. In the global market, gold fell by $14 per ounce, now priced at $3,288 per ounce. Analysts attribute the decrease to easing investor demand and changing economic indicators, including inflation expectations and currency fluctuations.
This recent dip suggests a shift in gold’s momentum, which had been on a strong upward trajectory due to geopolitical uncertainty and market volatility. Now, with signs of economic stabilization in some regions, short-term corrections are appearing in the precious metal market.

Regional Comparison: Saudi Arabia Sees Uptick
While Pakistan witnessed a fall in gold rates, Saudi Arabia saw a price increase a day earlier. On May 30, 2025, the rate for 24-karat gold rose to 4,630 SAR per tola. Ten grams were valued at SAR 3,974, while an ounce traded at 12,361 SAR.
This divergence between markets highlights how local demand, currency strength, and policy changes affect gold pricing in different countries. Saudi Arabia’s stronger currency and high consumer demand contributed to the contrasting trend.
Safe-Haven Appeal Still Intact
Despite short-term declines, gold continues to maintain its reputation as a safe-haven asset. In times of economic uncertainty or geopolitical conflict, both institutional and individual investors turn to gold to preserve wealth.
Recent global tensions and inflation fears had pushed prices upward earlier in the year. However, as investor confidence grows in other asset classes, temporary sell-offs are influencing gold’s value.
Still, gold’s long-term role as a hedge remains strong. Financial experts suggest that this dip may offer a buying opportunity for investors looking to diversify their portfolios amid ongoing global economic shifts.
