Gold prices have experienced a notable decline in the domestic market, with significant adjustments taking effect starting today, Tuesday. The price of 22-carat gold has dropped by 1,248 taka per bhori (11.664 grams), bringing the new price to 1,39,338 taka per bhori. This reduction comes in response to a decrease in the international price of pure gold.
The price revision was officially announced in a press release issued on Monday, explaining that the adjustment was necessary due to the global dip in gold prices. This follows a price hike on December 18, when gold prices had been raised by up to 2,088 taka per bhori.
Under the new pricing structure, 21-carat gold will be priced at 1,33,005 taka per bhori, while 18-carat gold will be available for 1,14,404 taka per bhori. Traditional (non-hallmarked) gold will be sold at 93,604 taka per bhori.
As of yesterday (Monday), the price of 22-carat gold was 1,40,586 taka per bhori, 21-carat gold was 1,34,194 taka, and 18-carat gold was priced at 1,15,030 taka per bhori. The latest price cuts reflect a 1,248 taka decrease for 22-carat gold, a 1,189 taka drop for 21-carat gold, and a 1,026 taka reduction for 18-carat gold per bhori. Traditional gold will see a price decrease of 874 taka per bhori.
Despite these reductions in gold prices, the price of silver remains unaffected and will not be adjusted.
