Gold prices fall

Gold prices in Bangladesh have been reduced, with the price of one bhori (11.664 grams) of the highest-quality gold falling by Tk 3,266. The new rates came into effect on Tuesday morning.

The revised prices were announced by the Bangladesh Jewellers Association, which said the adjustment was made in response to a decline in gold prices in the international market.

Under the new pricing structure, the price of 22-carat gold, considered the highest standard, has been set at Tk 234,855 per bhori.

The price of 21-carat gold has been reduced by Tk 3,149 to Tk 224,182 per bhori.

Meanwhile, 18-carat gold is now selling at Tk 192,164 per bhori, while gold produced under the traditional method is priced at Tk 156,473 per bhori.

Silver prices have also been reduced.

According to the new rates, the price of 22-carat silver has been cut by Tk 117 to Tk 5,657 per bhori.

The price of 21-carat silver has been reduced by Tk 175 to Tk 5,365 per bhori, while 18-carat silver now costs Tk 4,607 per bhori, down by Tk 117.

Silver produced under the traditional method has also been reduced by Tk 117 and is now priced at Tk 3,441 per bhori.

The latest adjustment comes just over a week after gold prices were increased by Tk 2,158 per bhori on May 25, ahead of Eid.
