Gold prices in Bangladesh have fallen for the second time this month, with the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) reducing the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 6,591 per bhori following a decline in the local market price of pure gold.

Under the new rates, effective from 10:00am on Wednesday, a bhori (11.664 grams) of 22-carat gold will now cost Tk 222,782, down from Tk 229,373.

The price of 21-carat gold has been set at Tk 212,635 per bhori, while 18-carat gold will be sold at Tk 182,250. Gold produced through the traditional method will cost Tk 148,424 per bhori.

The latest reduction comes just four days after Bajus lowered the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 5,482 per bhori on June 6.

So far this year, Bajus has revised gold prices 72 times. Prices were increased on 37 occasions and reduced 35 times, reflecting continued volatility in the precious metals market.

Silver prices have also been lowered. The price of 22-carat silver has been cut by Tk 350 per bhori to Tk 4,899.

Under the revised rates, 21-carat silver will cost Tk 4,666 per bhori, 18-carat silver Tk 4,024, and traditional-method silver Tk 3,033 per bhori.

Silver prices have been adjusted 43 times in 2026, with 22 increases and 21 reductions. The latest move follows a broader decline in precious metal prices in the local market.
