Gold price soars Tk6,590 per bhori in Bangladesh market

Gold prices in Bangladesh surged sharply today (8 April), with 22-carat gold rising by Tk6,590 per bhori.

The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) raised the price of gold in the domestic market, effective from 10am today (8 April).

Bajus attributed the hike to a rise in the price of pure (tejabi) gold in the local market.

With the latest revision, the price of 22-carat gold now stands at Tk2,52,409 per bhori.

Under the revised rates, 21-carat gold has gone up by Tk6,299 to Tk2,40,920 per bhori, while 18-carat gold has increased by Tk5,365 to Tk2,06,511 per bhori.

The price of traditionally processed (sanatan) gold has been adjusted upward by Tk4,374 to Tk1,68,195 per bhori.

The adjustment comes just two days after Bajus cut the price of premium gold by Tk2,158 on 6 April, which itself followed four consecutive rounds of increases totaling Tk13,122 per bhori.

So far in 2026, gold prices in the domestic market have been revised 53 times—raised on 31 occasions and reduced on 22.

Silver prices have also been revised upward alongside gold.

The price of 22-carat silver has been increased by Tk350 to Tk5,890 per bhori.

Rates for 21-carat, 18-carat, and traditionally processed silver have been set at Tk5,599, Tk4,782, and Tk3,616 per bhori, respectively.

Silver prices have now been adjusted 32 times this year, with 18 increases and 14 reductions.
