Gold prices drop again as Bajus revises rates
Silver prices, however, remained unchanged.
Gold prices in Bangladesh have dropped by Tk 4,432 per bhori over two consecutive days after the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) announced a fresh downward revision today (29 April), setting the price of 22-carat gold at Tk 2,42,495 per bhori.
In a statement issued this morning, BAJUS said the price adjustment reflects a decline in local market rates of refined gold.
The latest cut of Tk 2,216 per bhori follows an identical reduction yesterday (28 April), bringing the cumulative two-day drop to Tk 4,432.
