Gold prices see two consecutive hikes after days of decline
The hike follows a Tk6,590 increase announced on Sunday, when the rate was fixed at Tk2,24,940 per bhori for 22-carat gold.
Gold prices in Bangladesh have surged by Tk12,072 per bhori over two consecutive days, reversing a prolonged declining trend, as the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) cited rising pure gold prices in the local market.
BAJUS raised the price of 22-carat gold by Tk5,482 per bhori on Monday, setting the new rate at Tk2,30,422. The revision took effect from 10am.
The hike follows a Tk6,590 increase announced on Sunday, when the rate was fixed at Tk2,24,940 per bhori for 22-carat gold.
BAJUS said the adjustments reflect an increase in the price of tejabi (pure) gold in the domestic market, which necessitated a comprehensive revision of rates.
Under the revised pricing, the per-bhori (11.664 grams) rates now stand as follows: 22-carat at Tk2,30,422; 21-carat at Tk2,19,983; 18-carat at Tk1,88,549; and traditional (sanatan) method gold at Tk1,53,557.
Gold prices in Bangladesh have been adjusted 75 times so far in 2026, raised on 39 occasions and reduced on 36.
Alongside gold, silver prices also increased today. The 22-carat silver rate rose by Tk233 per bhori to Tk5,365.
Other silver rates: 21-carat at Tk5,132, 18-carat at Tk4,432, and traditional method at Tk3,324 per bhori.
Silver pricing has been revised 46 times in 2026 so far, with 24 increases and 22 reductions.
