Gold prices rise by Tk2,158 per bhori ahead of Eid
The latest hike reverses a cut made just two days ago.
Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) has raised gold prices in the domestic market ahead of Eid, pushing the price of 22-carat gold up by Tk2,158 per bhori to Tk2,38,121, effective from 10am today (25 May).
The price revision comes on the back of rising pure gold (tejabi) values in the local market, BAJUS said in a statement.
Under the revised rates, 21-carat gold will now be sold at Tk2,27,331 per bhori, 18-carat at Tk1,94,847 and traditional-method gold at Tk1,58,689 per bhori (1 bhori = 11.664 grams).
