Gold prices in Bangladesh saw a sharp decline on Thursday, dropping by Tk 15,338 per bhori within 24 hours after two consecutive price cuts announced by the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS).
In the first adjustment in the morning, BAJUS reduced the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 7,640 per bhori. Later in the day, a second notification cut prices by another Tk 7,698, bringing the total fall to Tk 15,338.
Following the latest revision, the price of 22-carat gold now stands at Tk 246,927 per bhori (11.664 grams).
BAJUS said the reduction reflects a decline in the price of pure gold in the local market, influenced by global trends. According to the World Gold Council, gold prices dropped around 5.5 percent in the international spot market, contributing to the domestic adjustment.
Under the new rates, 21-carat gold is priced at Tk 235,671 per bhori, while 18-carat gold stands at Tk 202,020. Traditional method gold is being sold at Tk 164,521 per bhori.
Silver prices have also decreased. The price of 22-carat silver fell by Tk 350 to Tk 5,365 per bhori. Other categories now stand at Tk 5,132 for 21-carat, Tk 4,432 for 18-carat, and Tk 3,324 for traditional silver.
So far in 2026, gold prices have been adjusted 45 times, with 26 increases and 19 decreases, reflecting high volatility in the market. Silver prices have been revised 29 times, including 16 hikes and 13 reductions.
Market analysts say the sharp drop highlights the strong link between global commodity prices and Bangladesh’s domestic jewellery market.
