Bangladesh Jewellers Association on Tuesday slashed gold prices by Tk 2,216 per bhori, citing a decline in the value of pure gold in the local market, with the new rates taking effect from the morning.

Under the revised pricing, 22-carat gold price now stands at Tk 2,44,711 per bhori (11.664 grams), down from Tk 2,46,927 set on April 23, when Bajus had last adjusted rates, trimming Tk 3,266 per bhori.

Prices across other carats were also revised downward.

Twenty-one-carat gold dropped by Tk 2,099 to Tk 2,33,572 per bhori, while 18-carat gold fell by Tk 1,807 to Tk 2,00,213. Traditional-method (sanaton) gold was reduced by Tk 1,458 to Tk 1,63,063 per bhori.

In a circular, Bajus said the adjustments reflect the prevailing market conditions following a softening of pure gold prices domestically.

Tuesday’s revision marks the 57th price adjustment for gold in Bangladesh so far in 2026, with rates having been raised 32 times and reduced 25 times.

In tandem with the gold price reduction, Bajus also lowered silver prices across all categories.

Twenty-two-carat silver was set at Tk 5,482 per bhori, down Tk 233, while 21-carat silver fell by Tk 234 to Tk 5,190.

Eighteen-carat silver was reduced by Tk 175 to Tk 4,491, and sanaton-method silver dropped Tk 116 to Tk 3,383 per bhori.

Silver prices have been adjusted 36 times in 2026 to date up 19 times and down 17 times.
