Gold prices rise by Tk2,157 per bhori after seven straight cuts

Gold prices in Bangladesh have increased by Tk2,157 per bhori after seven straight reductions, with the new rates taking effect from today (28 March).

The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) set the price of 22-carat gold at Tk237,012 per bhori (11.664 grams), according to a statement issued in the morning.

Bajus said the adjustment was made in line with a rise in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market considering the overall market situation.

Under the revised rates, 21-carat gold will cost Tk226,282 per bhori while 18-carat gold is priced at Tk193,914 per bhori.

Gold produced under the traditional method will be sold at Tk157,931 per bhori.

The last price adjustment was made on 27 March, when Bajus reduced the price of 22-carat gold by Tk6,590 to Tk234,855 per bhori.

So far in 2026, gold prices have been adjusted 48 times in the country, with increases recorded on 27 occasions and decreases on 21.

Despite the hike in gold prices, silver rates remain unchanged.

Currently, 22-carat silver is being sold at Tk5,365 per bhori, while 21-carat silver is priced at Tk5,132, 18-carat at Tk4,432, and traditional silver at Tk3,324 per bhori.

In 2026, silver prices have been adjusted 29 times, including 16 increases and 13 decreases.
