Gold Prices Jump After Four Consecutive Drops — Check Today’s Gold Price

Breaking a streak of four consecutive declines, gold and silver prices have surged significantly in the domestic market. According to the latest price adjustment announced by the Bangladesh Jewellers’ Association (BAJUS), the precious metals are being sold at record new rates starting today, Sunday.

BAJUS finalized the upward revision on Saturday morning, June 13, citing a sharp rise in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) and silver in the local bullion market. The dynamic pricing adjustment, which took effect immediately at 10:00 AM on Saturday, increased the price of high-quality gold by Tk 6,590 per bhori, while silver prices saw an increase of Tk 291 per bhori.

Under the newly implemented tariff framework, the market rates for one bhori (11.664 grams) of benchmark 22-carat gold have reached an all-time high of Tk 2,24,940, up from its previous price of Tk 2,18,350.

Similarly, the price of 21-carat gold has been re-fixed at Tk 2,14,734 per bhori, reflecting a net increase of Tk 6,298. For 18-carat gold, consumers will now have to pay Tk 1,84,058 per bhori, marking a rise of Tk 5,366 from the previous rate of Tk 1,78,692. Meanwhile, gold traded under the traditional method has climbed by Tk 4,374, bringing its new retail price to Tk 1,49,882 per bhori.

Prior to this massive weekend spike, BAJUS had slashed the prices of the yellow metal on the morning of June 11. During that specific correction, the trade body eased domestic rates by Tk 4,432 per bhori, pulling the retail price of benchmark 22-carat gold down to Tk 2,18,350 from its previous peak. However, that relief proved short-lived as local demand and bullion market dynamics triggered the latest historic rebound.

The latest revision marks the 74th time BAJUS has adjusted gold prices in the domestic market in the current calendar year alone. The frequent price swings reflect severe volatility in both global economic indicators and local supply chains. Out of these 74 adjustments so far this year, prices were increased 38 times and lowered 36 times.

This hyper-frequent pricing strategy follows the trend set in the preceding year of 2025, which saw an unprecedented total of 93 market adjustments, consisting of 64 price hikes and 29 reductions. Consumer standard updates for precious silver items have also been altered in parallel to maintain overall market equilibrium.
