Gold prices in the domestic market have risen sharply within 24 hours, the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) announced on Tuesday.
The price of 22-carat gold has been increased by Tk 3,324 per bhori, bringing it to Tk2.77 lakh. The new rate takes effect from 10am today.
In a press release, BAJUS said the rise reflects the increasing value of pure gold (tezabi shona) and the overall market situation.
The association also set the new rates for other carats, 21-carat gold at Tk2.64 lakh per bhori, 18-carat at Tk2.26 lakh, and traditional-style gold at Tk1.85 lakh per bhori.
Earlier, on 2 March, BAJUS had raised 22-carat gold by Tk5,424 per bhori to Tk274,104. At that time, 21-carat gold was Tk2.61 lakh, 18-carat Tk 2.24 lakh, and traditional gold Tk 1.83 lakh.
This year, gold prices have been adjusted 36 times so far, with 24 increases and 12 reductions. In 2025, the market saw 93 adjustments, including 64 hikes and 29 cuts.
Silver prices, however, remain unchanged. Currently, one bhori of 22-carat silver sells at Tk 7,173, 21-carat at Tk 6,882, 18-carat at Tk 5,890, and traditional silver at Tk 4,432.
In 2026, silver rates have been adjusted 21 times, including 14 rises and seven falls. In 2025, there were 13 adjustments, with 10 increases and three decreases.
