Gold prices rise ahead of Eid as BAJUS revises rates
Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has raised gold prices in the domestic market ahead of Eid, pushing the price of 22-carat gold up by Tk 2,158 per bhori to Tk 2,38,121, effective from 10:00am Monday.
The price revision comes on the back of rising pure gold (tejabi) values in the local market, BAJUS said in a statement.
Under the revised rates, 21-carat gold will now be sold at Tk 2,27,331 per bhori, 18-carat at Tk 1,94,847 and traditional-method gold at Tk 1,58,689 per bhori (1 bhori = 11.664 grams).
The latest hike reverses a cut made just two days ago.
On May 23, BAJUS had reduced the price of 22-carat gold by the same margin Tk 2,158 per bhori, setting it at Tk 2,35,963.
Gold prices in Bangladesh have now been revised 69 times so far in 2026, with 37 upward and 32 downward adjustments, reflecting the continued volatility in global bullion markets.
Silver prices have also been revised upward alongside gold. The price of 22-carat silver has been raised by Tk 117 per bhori to Tk 5,774.
Other silver rates now stand at Tk 5,540 for 21-carat, Tk 4,724 for 18-carat and Tk 3,558 per bhori for traditional-method silver.
Silver prices have seen 40 revisions in 2026, 22 increases and 18 reductions, reports UNB.
