On February 13, 2026, gold prices in Pakistan experienced a significant drop, with the price per tola decreasing by 8,600 PKR to 519,962 PKR, as reported by Aaj TV Latest and corroborated by Daily Qudrat. This decline follows a five-day period of stability and is attributed to a decrease in international gold prices by 86 USD per ounce, bringing it down to 4,972 USD, as detailed by Express News. The decrease in gold prices is linked to several global economic factors, including a strengthening US dollar and diminishing prospects of a rate cut by the US Federal Reserve before May 2026. In the local market, the price for 10 grams of gold also fell by 7,373 PKR to 445,783 PKR.
