Gold rebounds after recent cut

Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) on Wednesday raised the price of gold by Tk 2,216 per bhori, setting the new rate for 22-carat gold at Tk 2, 50,193 per bhori, effective immediately.

In a morning statement, BAJUS said the price revision was made in light of the overall market situation following a rise in the price of pure (tejabi) gold in the local market, reports UNB.

Under the revised rates, 21-carat gold will be sold at Tk 2,38,820 per bhori, 18-carat at Tk 2,04,703, and traditional-method gold at Tk 1,66,737 per bhori (1 bhori = 11.664 grams).

The last adjustment was made on the morning of April 9, when BAJUS had cut the price by Tk 4,432 per bhori, setting the 22-carat rate at Tk 2, 47,977.

So far in 2026, gold prices in the domestic market have been revised 55 times; raised on 32 occasions and reduced on 23.

Alongside gold, BAJUS also raised silver prices on Wednesday, increasing the rate by Tk 350 per bhori.

The new price of 22-carat silver has been fixed at Tk 6,065 per bhori.

Other revised silver rates include: 21-carat at Tk 5,774 per bhori, 18-carat at Tk 4,957 per bhori, and traditional-method silver at Tk 3,732 per bhori.

Silver prices have been adjusted 34 times so far this year; increased on 19 occasions and reduced on the remaining 15.
