The price of gold in the domestic market has seen a sharp decline of BDT 4,432 per bhori, just 24 hours after a record hike, as the Bangladesh Jeweller’s Association (BAJUS) announced a fresh downward adjustment on Thursday.

According to a BAJUS press release, the price of 22-carat gold has been reset at BDT 2,47,977 per bhori, down from Wednesday’s peak of BDT 252,409.

The association stated that the decision follows a decline in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market and takes effect immediately.

  • 21-carat gold: Reduced by BDT 4,199 to BDT 236,721 per bhori
