Gold prices fall sharply in Bangladesh as 22-carat gold drops Tk9,214
Silver prices also reduced
After several rounds of rises, gold prices in Bangladesh fell, with the rate of 22-carat gold dropping by Tk9,214 per bhori.
The new rate sets the price of 22-carat gold at Tk2,68,214 per bhori (11.664 grams), according to a statement issued this morning (4 March) by the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus).
Bajus said the decision was taken considering the overall market situation, particularly a decline in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market.
