Gold prices drop by Tk 1,353 to Tk 2.08 lakh per bhori

The Bangladesh Jeweler’s Association (BAJUS) has decreased the prices of gold, with 22-carat gold declining by Tk 1,353 to Tk 2,08,167 per bhori (11.664 grams).

Besides, jewelers reduced the prices of 21-carat gold by Tk 1,307 to Tk 1,98,696 per bhori, 18-carat by Tk 1,108 to Tk 1,70,318, and gold of the traditional method by Tk 944 to Tk 1,41,648, respectively.

The price hike is attributed to a fall in the prices of pure gold in the local market, a BAJUS statement said on Thursday, November 20.

The new prices will take effect on Friday, November 21.

Earlier on Wednesday, November 19, the BAJUS hiked the prices of gold, with 22-carat gold up by Tk 2,612 to Tk 2,09,520 per bhori.
