Copper Rate Today
Today the copper rate in Pakistan is Rs 2,730 per kg, up by Rs 2 from yesterday. This small increase reflects mild buying pressure in the industrial metals market. Copper is widely used in electrical wiring, plumbing, and construction, so its price matters for contractors and manufacturers.
| Metal | Unit | Rate (PKR) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper | Per Kg | Rs 2,730 | +Rs 2 |
Why Did Rates Change Today?
Gold prices in Pakistan have dipped today mostly because of a slight softening in international bullion markets. When the global price of gold falls even a little, it directly pulls down local Sarafa market rates. The small drop across all karats, from 24K down to 18K, follows this pattern. Silver, however, moved the other way with a small gain of Rs 13 per tola, suggesting that some investors shifted toward silver as a cheaper alternative metal today.
On the currency side, the US Dollar held firm at Rs 278.40, which kept gold and import prices steady in rupee terms. Most other currencies, including the Euro, British Pound, and Gulf currencies, lost some value against the rupee today, which is a mild positive signal for the rupee’s strength. Copper gained a small Rs 2 per kg, likely driven by steady industrial demand. Petrol and diesel prices remain unchanged from the last government revision and will hold until the next official notification.
