After six consecutive hikes, the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has cut gold prices in the local market.
The price of 22-carat gold has been reduced by Tk 9,214 per bhori (11.664 grams), bringing the new rate to Tk 2,68,214. The revised prices took effect from 10:00am on Wednesday (March 4), according to a BAJUS notification.
BAJUS said the decision was made due to a decline in the price of pure gold in the local market and after reviewing the overall market situation.
New gold prices per bhori:
22-carat: Tk 2,68,214
21-carat: Tk 2,56,025

On Tuesday (March 3), BAJUS had increased the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 3,324 to Tk 2,77,428 per bhori. The latest cut reverses that hike and marks the first reduction after six straight increases.
