Bangladesh's Gold Price Swings Again as BAJUS Cuts 22 Carat to Tk228,031, Just Four Days After Raising It

The Bangladesh Jewellers Association cut 22 carat gold by Tk3,266 a bhori on October 13 to Tk228,031, just four days after raising the same rate by Tk2,216. It is the latest swing in a price that has moved in both directions since late September, from Tk232,930 on September 26 to Tk231,297 on October 9 to Tk228,031 now. Silver was cut on the same schedule, with 22 carat silver down Tk117 a bhori to Tk4,199.

Gold Price in Bangladesh Swings Twice in a Week as Bajus Cuts, Then Hikes Rates

Bajus cut the price of 22-carat gold by Tk1,691 per bhori on October 5, then reversed course four days later with a Tk2,216 increase, leaving the metal at Tk2,31,297 per bhori as of October 10. The whiplash is nothing new this year, jewelers have revised rates more than 90 times since January, roughly one adjustment every two days, as local pure-gold costs track a volatile international bullion market and the taka-dollar rate. Even after the latest climb, the price sits well below the record Tk2,86,001 per bhori touched earlier in the year, though it is still running about 10.6 percent above where it stood in October 2025.

Gold Prices in Bangladesh Swing Twice in Three Days, Still Well Below January's Record

Bangladesh's gold price swung twice within three days this week, the Bangladesh Jewellers Association cutting 22 carat gold by Tk2,158 on September 28 and a further Tk2,216 the next day, before reversing the full second cut on September 30 to land right back at Tk2,30,772 per bhori. The whiplash is typical for a year that has already seen 119 official price revisions, 58 increases and 60 decreases, as domestic prices track a volatile international bullion market shaped by Federal Reserve expectations and Middle East tensions. Even after this week's rebound, the price remains more than Tk55,000 below January's record high of Tk2,86,001 per bhori. With wedding season underway and VAT and fabrication charges pushing real costs well above the quoted price, buyers are being advised to watch the BJA's daily notices rather than assume any single day's price will hold.

Gold Prices Tick Up in Bangladesh but Stay Well Below January's Record High

Twenty two carat gold is selling for Tk2,34,621 a bhori in Bangladesh this week after a Tk1,691 increase the Bangladesh Jewellers Association announced on September 19, but the price remains more than 18 percent below the all time record of Tk2,86,001 a bhori set in January. Gold fell as low as Tk2,19,808 a bhori by July before this month's modest recovery, a swing driven almost entirely by international factors including Middle East tensions and US Federal Reserve policy rather than anything happening in Bangladesh's own bullion market. With wedding season underway, the roughly Tk66,000 per bhori gap between January's peak and July's trough is already shaping how families time their gold purchases.

Gold Prices in Bangladesh Jump Again as BAJUS Tracks a Record Global Rally

Bangladesh's jewellers raised gold prices for the second time in barely a week on September 19, pushing top grade 22 carat gold to Tk234,621 a bhori after a Tk1,691 increase. The move tracks a striking rally in the international market, where gold has traded above $4,300 an ounce this month on persistent inflation, a softer dollar and heavy central bank buying. BAJUS has now revised its rates 116 times so far this year, a pace that shows just how unsettled the precious metals market has become for ordinary Bangladeshi buyers heading into wedding season.

Bangladesh Gold Price Bounces Back Tk1,050 a Bhori After Three Straight Cuts

Bangladesh's gold market snapped a three day losing streak this week after the Bangladesh Jewellers Association raised the price of 22 carat gold by Tk1,050 to Tk232,930 a bhori, tracking a rise in raw tejabi gold on the local market. The move is the 115th price adjustment Bajus has made so far in 2026, split almost evenly between increases and cuts, a pace that has left buyers and jewellers struggling to plan around a metal Bangladeshis have long treated as a stable store of value. Globally, spot gold has been swinging between a scorching August rally and a bumpy September as traders weigh a possible Federal Reserve rate move against persistent inflation and Middle East tensions. For ordinary households, the swings mean gold has become almost as hard to plan around as the currency it is meant to hedge against.
