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.​

Gold prices witnessed a steep decline on Monday, dropping by over 10 per cent to around Rs 1.29 lakh per 10 grams in the futures market, as a broad global sell-off in precious metals unfolded amid mounting macroeconomic concerns.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold futures plunged by Rs 14,897, or 10.3 per cent, settling at Rs 1,29,595 per 10 grams. The metal has now fallen by Rs 63,501, or nearly 33 per cent, from its record high of Rs 1,93,096 per 10 grams reached on January 29, 2026.

According to analysts, the sharp correction has been driven by growing inflation worries and a spike in crude oil prices, both of which have weighed on the global economic outlook.​

Gold prices in Bangladesh rose on Tuesday, with the price of 22-carat gold increasing by Tk 3,266 a bhari, according to the Bangladesh Jewellers Association.

In a statement issued in the morning, the BAJUS said that the new price had been set at Tk 2,44,711 a bhari (11.664 grams) of 22-carat gold, effective immediately.

The association attributed the latest hike to a rise in the price of pure gold, locally known as tejabi gold, on the domestic market.

Under the revised rates, 21-carat gold now costs Tk 2,33,572 a bhari, while 18-carat gold is priced at Tk 2,00,213 a bhari. Gold produced through traditional methods has been set at Tk 1,63,063 a bhari.

On March 28, the BAJUS raised the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 4,433 a bhari, setting it at Tk 2,41,445.

Buyers will also have to pay an additional 5 per cent government-fixed VAT on the sale price, along with a minimum 6 per cent making charge set by BAJUS.

The making charge may vary depending on the design and quality of the jewellery.

So far in 2026, gold prices in the country have been adjusted 50 times, raised on 29 occasions and reduced 21 times, reflecting ongoing volatility on the market.

As of writing of this report at 7:52pm on Tuesday, gold prices on the international market increased by about 0.9 per cent on Tuesday, reaching around 4,550.68 dollars an ounce, though they have dropped by 769 dollars over the past month.

In Bangladesh, local gold rates fell by Tk 35,575 a bhari between March 12 and 27 but recovered by Tk 9,856 from March 28 to Tuesday due to global tensions and central bank purchases.

Alongside gold, silver prices have also increased.

The price of 22-carat silver rose by Tk 350 a bhari to Tk 5,715. The new rates stand at Tk 5,424 a bhari for 21-carat, Tk 4,666 for 18-carat, and Tk 3,499 for traditional silver.Human rights reports
