Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) today slashed gold prices by Tk2,216 per bhori, citing a decline in the value of pure gold in the local market, with the new rates taking effect from the morning.
Under the revised pricing, 22-carat gold price now stands at Tk2,44,711 per bhori (11.664 grams), down from Tk2,46,927 set on 23 April, when Bajus had last adjusted rates, trimming Tk3,266 per bhori.
Prices across other carats were also revised downward.
21-carat gold dropped by Tk2,099 to Tk2,33,572 per bhori, while 18-carat gold fell by Tk1,807 to Tk2,00,213.
Traditional-method (sanaton) gold was reduced by Tk1,458 to Tk1,63,063 per bhori.
In a circular, Bajus said the adjustments reflect the prevailing market conditions following a softening of pure gold prices domestically.
Today’s revision marks the 57th price adjustment for gold in Bangladesh so far in 2026, with rates having been raised 32 times and reduced 25 times.
Silver also sees a cut
In tandem with the gold price reduction, Bajus also lowered silver prices across all categories.
22-carat silver was set at Tk5,482 per bhori, down Tk233, while 21-carat silver fell by Tk234 to Tk5,190.
18-carat silver was reduced by Tk 175 to Tk4,491, and sanaton-method silver dropped Tk 116 to Tk3,383 per bhori.
Silver prices have been adjusted 36 times in 2026 to date up 19 times and down 17 times.
