Gold prices drop to Tk2.18 lakh per bhori after fresh cut
The latest reduction comes just a day after BAJUS lowered gold prices by Tk6,591 per bhori yesterday, setting the price of 22-carat gold at Tk222,782 per bhori.
Prices of gold in Bangladesh have been reduced for the fourth consecutive time, with the Bangladesh Jeweller's Association (Bajus) cutting the rate of 22-carat gold by Tk4,432 per bhori (11.664 grams) to Tk218,350.
In a notice issued this morning (11 June), the trade body said the new prices took effect from 10am.
It attributed the latest adjustment to a decline in the price of pure gold in the local market, prompting it to revise gold rates after considering the overall market situation.
