Gold prices in Bangladesh increased again on Thursday, marking the second consecutive day of price hikes in the local market. The price of 22-carat gold, considered the highest quality, has gone up by Tk 2,216 per bhori (11.664 grams). The revised rates became effective from 10:00 AM today.

The announcement was made by the Bangladesh Jewellers Association in a press release issued Thursday morning. Gold prices had been reduced on Wednesday, following several earlier cuts in recent weeks.

Under the latest pricing structure, the cost of 22-carat gold now stands at Tk 244,711 per bhori. Prices for other categories have also risen:

21-carat gold: Tk 233,572 per bhori

18-carat gold: Tk 200,213 per bhori

Traditional-method gold: Tk 163,063 per bhori

Before today’s increase, the prices were:

22-carat: Tk 242,495

21-carat: Tk 231,472

18-carat: Tk 198,405

Traditional gold: Tk 161,605

Silver prices have also been adjusted upward. The price of 22-carat silver has increased to Tk 5,774 per bhori, compared to Tk 5,657 earlier today.

Globally, gold prices have seen significant fluctuations throughout 2025. Although geopolitical tensions involving Iran, Israel, and the United States continue, international gold prices have not surged sharply during the conflict period. In fact, gold prices in the global market dropped by around $67 per ounce over the past month.

However, prices have shown a slight recovery in recent days, influencing the local market to raise gold prices for two straight days. In New York trading on Thursday, gold prices climbed by $17 per ounce, reaching around $4,700 per ounce. Earlier this year, gold had traded above the $5,000 mark per ounce.

Despite the recent upward movement, market analysts are not expecting a major spike in global gold prices in the near term, even amid ongoing international tensions.
