Copper Rate Today
Copper rate today in Pakistan is Rs 1,680 per kg, which is Rs 3,820 lower than yesterday’s price. This is a sharp single-day fall in copper, which will be noticed by construction contractors, electricians, and manufacturers who use copper wire and pipes regularly.
| Metal | Rate | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Copper (per kg) | Rs 1,680 | -Rs 3,820 |
Why Did Rates Change Today?
The large fall in gold prices today is mainly driven by a decline in international bullion markets, where gold prices dropped sharply overnight. When global gold prices fall, Pakistan’s local Sarafa market follows because rates here are benchmarked to international spot prices and then converted using the current USD-PKR exchange rate. The fact that the dollar rate in Pakistan today stayed relatively stable means the full force of the international gold price drop passed through directly to local prices. Silver moved slightly upward, which sometimes happens when investors shift attention from gold to silver after a sharp gold correction.
Copper’s steep fall of Rs 3,820 per kg also points to weakness in global industrial metals markets, possibly linked to lower demand signals from major manufacturing economies. Petrol and diesel prices in Pakistan today remained unchanged from the previous review period, as Pakistan’s fuel prices are set by the government on a fortnightly basis and are not adjusted daily. Currency rates in Pakistan on 13 August 2026 showed very little movement, suggesting the rupee held its position against major foreign currencies in the open market on this date.
Today’s big story is clearly the fall in gold and copper. For anyone planning to buy gold jewellery or invest in gold, today’s lower 24k gold price per tola may be worth watching. Keep checking this page daily for updated rates across all categories.
