The morning Sarafa benchmark for Sunday is Rs 425,100 per tola for 24-karat gold, up Rs 1,738 from Rs 423,362 yesterday morning.

Petrol and diesel prices in Pakistan today
Petrol is Rs 346 per litre and high-speed diesel is Rs 378 per litre. The new prices took effect on Saturday 7 November 2026 and will remain in force until Tuesday 10 November because Monday 9 November is a public holiday. This is the fifth consecutive daily reduction in fuel prices — petrol has now fallen Rs 31.91 since Monday, when it stood at Rs 377.91. The cuts follow the fall in international oil prices and the government's daily pricing mechanism, under which OGRA now publishes revised prices on its website. The government still levies Rs 114 per litre in taxes and duties on petrol and Rs 100 per litre on diesel.
Pakistan Stock Exchange update
The Pakistan Stock Exchange is closed today, Sunday, and will also be closed on Monday 9 November for Iqbal Day. It will reopen on Tuesday 10 November. The benchmark KSE-100 index closed Friday at 173,886.68 points, down 1,493.18 points (0.85%) from Thursday's record close of 175,379.86, after swinging between an intraday low of 172,809.89 and a high of 174,369.19. Friday's fall was profit-taking after four straight days of gains, with investors booking profits and worries returning about oil prices and a possible United States–Iran confrontation. Even so, the index ended the week 4.49% higher, gaining 7,477 points over the week. The broader All-Share index also fell on Friday, down 830.04 points to 104,193.89. International markets were mixed on Friday: in the United States, the Dow Jones fell 0.46% to 51,285.73, the S&P 500 rose 0.31% to 7,376.86, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.09% to 24,579.42, recovering part of Thursday's sharp sell-off after a stronger-than-expected October jobs report.
