After several rounds of rises, gold prices in Bangladesh fell on Wednesday, with the rate of 22-carat gold dropping by Tk 9,214 per bhori.
The new rate sets the price of 22-carat gold at Tk 268,214 per bhori (11.664 grams), according to a statement issued in the morning by the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS).
BAJUS said the decision was taken considering the overall market situation particularly a decline in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market.
The revised rates have come into effect immediately.
Under the new pricing structure, 21-carat gold now costs Tk 256,025 per bhori while 18-carat gold is priced at Tk 219,258 per bhori.
The price of traditional-method gold has been set at Tk 179,159 per bhori.
The last adjustment was made on March 3, when BAJUS increased the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 3,324 per bhori to Tk 277,428.
So far in 2026, gold prices have been adjusted 37 times in the domestic market, with rates increased 24 times and reduced 13 times.
Alongside gold, silver prices have also been reduced.
The price of 22-carat silver has been cut by Tk 641 per bhori to Tk 6,532.
The price of 21-carat silver now stands at Tk 6,240 per bhori, 18-carat silver at Tk 5,365 per bhori, and traditional-method silver at Tk 4,024 per bhori.
In 2026, silver prices have been adjusted 22 times so far, including 14 increases and eight reductions.
