Gold Prices Jump Again — Know Today's Rate

In a rapid succession of market movements, gold and silver prices have surged once again in the domestic market within just twenty-four hours of the last hike. Driven by a sharp rise in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) and silver in the local bullion market, the Bangladesh Jewellers’ Association (BAJUS) convened an emergency meeting this morning to implement another upward tariff revision, effective from 10:00 AM today, Monday.

This back-to-back adjustment follows a massive weekend spike finalized on Saturday, June 13, which had pushed the benchmark gold rate to Tk 2,24,940 per bhori. Citing volatile supply dynamics in the local market, the BAJUS Standing Committee on Pricing and Price Monitoring sat for an urgent evaluation at 9:00 AM today to anchor the prices further upward.

Today's New Domestic Gold and Silver Rates

Under the newly instituted tariff framework issued by committee Chairman Dr. Dewan Aminul Islam Shahin, the retail price for one gram of 22-carat cadmium-hallmarked gold has been refixed at Tk 19,755. Consequently, the price for the standard one bhori (11.664 grams) of 22-carat gold now stands at Tk 2,30,422—marking a significant single-day jump of Tk 5,482 from yesterday’s rate.

The updated per-gram pricing structures for all gold and silver categories are detailed below:

• 21-Carat Gold: Re-fixed at Tk 18,860 per gram (approximately Tk 2,19,983 per bhori).

• 18-Carat Gold: Re-fixed at Tk 16,165 per gram (approximately Tk 1,88,550 per bhori).

• Traditional Gold: Re-fixed at Tk 13,165 per gram (approximately Tk 1,53,550 per bhori).

In tandem with the yellow metal, silver standard rates have also been scaled up across the board:

• 22-Carat Silver: Fixed at Tk 460 per gram.

• 21-Carat Silver: Fixed at Tk 440 per gram.

• 18-Carat Silver: Fixed at Tk 380 per gram.

• Traditional Silver: Fixed at Tk 285 per gram.

Statutory Directives and Market Context

The statutory trade body noted that these consumer rates will remain strictly enforceable across all retail jewelry establishments nationwide until further notice. Furthermore, BAJUS reminded consumers that a mandatory 5% government VAT will be collected at the point of sale for submission to the national exchequer, and making charges will vary depending on the complexity of the jewelry design.

Today’s revision marks the 75th time BAJUS has adjusted local precious metal values in 2026 alone. This hyper-frequent intervention continues to match the high-volatility pricing strategies seen throughout the previous year, reflecting deep-rooted fluctuations in both international market indicators and domestic bullion supplies.
