Petrol and Diesel Prices Today

| High Speed Diesel (HSD) | Rs 371.61 | No Change |
Both petrol and diesel prices are unchanged today, which brings some relief for daily commuters, transport businesses and farmers who rely on diesel-run machinery. The next official fuel price revision by the government is expected at the next fortnightly review date.
Copper Rate Today

Why Did Rates Change Today?
Gold prices in Pakistan moved upward today across multiple karat categories. The gains seen in 22K, 21K and 18K gold are broadly linked to international bullion market trends, where global demand for precious metals tends to push local Sarafa bazaar prices higher. Strong buying interest from jewellers and retail customers at local markets ahead of the new month also added upward pressure on gold today. The USD to PKR rate staying flat at Rs 278.95 means currency movement was not a major factor in today’s gold price changes, and the gains reflect more of an underlying bullion demand trend.
Copper’s dip of Rs 150 per kg points to softer global commodity prices today, which can happen when industrial demand expectations ease or international metal exchange rates pull back slightly. Petrol and diesel remaining unchanged simply reflects that no government revision was due today, as fuel prices in Pakistan follow a fixed fortnightly review cycle. The Kuwaiti Dinar’s small decline of Rs 6 in the open market is a routine currency fluctuation and does not signal any major shift in the PKR exchange rate outlook for the day.
That covers all the major rates for Monday, 31 August 2026.
