Gold prices in Bangladesh have climbed for the eighth consecutive time, with the price of 22-carat gold reaching a new all-time high of Tk 229,431 per bhori (11.664 grams) on Sunday.

Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) announced at night that it has increased the price of gold by Tk 1,575 per bhori, a decision that will take effect from Monday morning.

BAJUS said the latest adjustment was made considering the overall market situation, particularly the rise in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market.

Under the new rates, the price of 21-carat gold has been set at Tk 218,992 per bhori, 18-carat gold at Tk 187,732 per bhori, and traditional-method gold at Tk 156,531 per bhori.

In addition to the selling price, buyers will have to pay a government-mandated 5 percent VAT and a minimum 6 percent making charge fixed by BAJUS. However, making charges may vary depending on the design and quality of jewellery.

BAJUS last revised gold prices on December 27, when it raised the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 1,574 per bhori to Tk 227,856.

With the latest hike, BAJUS has increased gold prices eight times in a row. So far this year, gold prices have been adjusted 91 times in the domestic market — raised on 64 occasions and reduced only 27 times.

Meanwhile, silver prices have remained unchanged in the local market. The price of 22-carat silver stands at Tk 6,065 per bhori, while 21-carat silver is selling at Tk 5,774 per bhori, 18-carat silver at Tk 4,957 per bhori, and traditional-method silver at Tk 3,732 per bhori.​

Following a fresh record in the global market, the price of gold in Bangladesh is set to surpass previous highs from tomorrow, according to a press release from the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus).

Gold will be sold at Tk 244,127 per bhori (11.664 grammes) from tomorrow, marking an increase of 2.19 percent, equivalent to Tk 5,249 per bhori, the association said today.

Today, the precious metal traded at Tk 238,878 per bhori, the rate set by Bajus on January 19.

The announcement comes as gold reached a record high in the global market, climbing to an unprecedented $4,700 an ounce (one standard ounce equals 28.35 grammes) amid rising geopolitical tensions that boosted safe-haven demand. Silver also surpassed $95 an ounce for the first time, Reuters reported.

Spot gold rose 1.5 percent to $4,737.18 per ounce by 09:49am ET (14:49 GMT), after reaching a record $4,750.49 earlier in the day. US gold futures for February delivery climbed 3.2 percent to $4,742.70 per ounce.

Locally, Bajus said prices of pure gold have increased in the market. In response to the surge in global prices, the association raised the local rate.​

Gold volatility intensifies as price revised in 12 hours

Gold volatility intensifies as price revised in 12 hours

Bangladesh’s gold market witnessed unusual volatility this week, with prices reversing directions within just 12 hours to hit a fresh all-time high on Friday, reflecting rising global uncertainty on the domestic bullion trade.

After announcing a price cut on Thursday night, the Bangladesh Jewellers Association sharply raised gold prices again by early Friday, pushing rates to historic levels.

The price of 22-carat gold jumped by Tk 6,299 a bhari (11.664 grams), taking it to a record Tk 2,55,617 a bhari, the highest ever in the country’s history.

On Thursday night, the BAJUS had said the price of 22-carat gold would be reduced to Tk 2,49,000 a bhari from Tk 2,52,000 a bhari, citing market conditions.

However, that reduction remained in effect for only 12 hours before a fresh hike wiped it out and sent prices soaring again.

The BAJUS said that the latest increase was driven by a rise in the local price of refined gold.

The revised rates came into effect from 12:15pm on Friday, following a meeting of the association’s Standing Committee on Pricing and Price Monitoring earlier in the day.

The decision was announced through a notification signed by the committee’s chairman Dewan Aminul Islam Shaheen, who said that the adjustment reflected an overall assessment of the market situation.

The rapid turnaround highlights the intensity of price volatility gripping the precious metals market.

Between January 11 and January 22 alone, the price of 22-carat gold was raised six times by a total of Tk 25,661 a bhari, taking it to Tk 2,52,467 a bhari before Thursday’s reduction.

Under the latest rates, 21-carat gold now costs Tk 2,44,011 a bhari, 18-carat gold Tk 2,09,136 and traditional method gold Tk 1,71,869 a bhari.

The association also said that a government-mandated 5 per cent VAT and a minimum 6 per cent wage set by the association must be added to the selling price.

The wage component may vary depending on the design and quality of jewellery.

This month so far, gold prices have been adjusted 11 times in the local market, raised eight times and reduced only three, reflecting persistent instability.

Prices had crossed Tk 1,50,000 a bhari in February 2025 and surged past Tk 2,00,000 later the same year.

Global developments are adding fuel to the volatility.

According to Agence France-Presse, gold prices surged internationally as investors sought safety amid geopolitical uncertainty and policy tensions involving the United States.

Gold, widely seen as a safe-haven asset, climbed toward a record $5,000 per ounce.

Silver prices have also risen on the domestic market.

The BAJUS fixed the price of 22-carat silver at Tk 6,882 a bhari, while 21-carat, 18-carat and traditional silver were set at Tk 6,532, Tk 5,599 and Tk 4,199, respectively.

Silver prices have been revised nine times this year, with six increases and three cuts.​
