Gold prices in Bangladesh have been reduced in line with a fall in the international market, with the highest adjustment reaching Tk 2,158 per bhori. The revised prices came into effect at 10:00 am on Tuesday, as confirmed in a press release issued by the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus).
This latest adjustment follows a period of frequent fluctuations in the domestic gold market. Notably, on the previous Thursday night, gold prices had been increased by the same margin of Tk 2,158 per bhori, after an earlier reduction of an identical amount earlier that same day.
Under the newly announced rates, the price of 22-carat gold—the highest standard in the local market—has been fixed at Tk 240,336 per bhori (11.664 grammes). Prices for other categories have also been revised accordingly. The 21-carat gold is now priced at Tk 229,431 per bhori, 18-carat gold at Tk 196,655 per bhori, and traditional gold at Tk 160,147 per bhori.
For comparison, the previous day’s rates were higher across all categories. The 22-carat gold was sold at Tk 242,495 per bhori, while 21-carat stood at Tk 231,472, 18-carat at Tk 198,405, and traditional gold at Tk 161,605 per bhori. This indicates a downward adjustment across all purity levels.
Gold Price Comparison
| Category | Previous Price (Tk/bhori) | New Price (Tk/bhori) | Change (Tk) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22-carat | 242,495 | 240,336 | -2,159 |
| 21-carat | 231,472 | 229,431 | -2,041 |
| 18-carat | 198,405 | 196,655 | -1,750 |
| Traditional | 161,605 | 160,147 | -1,458 |
Meanwhile, silver prices have remained unchanged. According to Bajus, the price of 22-carat silver continues to stand at Tk 5,482 per bhori.
Market sources note that the adjustment reflects ongoing volatility in the international bullion market. It has been stated that in 2025, global gold prices have increased significantly overall, while more recent trends show fluctuations, including a decline over the past month. It is reported that gold prices in the international market have fallen by around 132 US dollars per ounce over the last 30 days.
In this context, domestic price revisions are being made periodically in Bangladesh to reflect changes in global rates and local market conditions. Despite broader upward movement in global gold prices over the year, short-term corrections in the international market continue to influence pricing adjustments in the domestic jewellery sector.
At present, there are no official forecasts indicating significant upward movement in global gold prices in the immediate future, according to prevailing market observations cited in the announcement.
