Gold prices in Bangladesh dropped sharply on Thursday, falling by Tk 15,338 per bhori within 24 hours, as the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) announced two consecutive price cuts on the same day.
In a morning notification, BAJUS reduced the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 7,640 per bhori. Just six hours later, it issued another notice slashing the price by an additional Tk 7,698, bringing the total reduction to Tk 15,338 in a single day, UNB reports.
Following the latest adjustment, the price of 22-carat gold now stands at Tk 246,927 per bhori (11.664 grams).
According to BAJUS, the revision was made in line with a decline in the price of pure gold in the local market. The new rates came into effect immediately.
Under the revised prices, 21-carat gold is being sold at Tk 235,671 per bhori, while 18-carat gold costs Tk 202,020 per bhori. Gold produced through the traditional method is priced at Tk 164,521 per bhori.
So far in 2026, gold prices in the country have been adjusted 45 times, including 26 increases and 19 decreases.
Meanwhile, silver prices have also been reduced. The price of 22-carat silver has been cut by Tk 350 to Tk 5,365 per bhori.
The price of 21-carat silver now stands at Tk 5,132 per bhori, 18-carat silver at Tk 4,432, and traditional silver at Tk 3,324 per bhori.
In 2026, silver prices have been adjusted 29 times so far, with 16 hikes and 13 reductions.
The sharp fall in local prices follows a decline in the global market. According to the World Gold Council, gold prices dropped by around 5.5 percent in the spot market on Thursday, impacting the domestic market as well.
