Gold price decreases

The prices of gold will decrease by Tk 3,500 to Tk 73,716 a bhari (11.66 grams) in the local market from Thursday, said Bangladesh Jewellers Samity.

The Samity took this decision because of a decline in the price of gold in the international market.

A week ago, the country's jewellers increased the gold price by Tk 4,332 a bhari to a record Tk 77,215 a bhari due to price hike of the precious metal in the international market.

The Bangladesh Jewellers Samity in a press release on Wednesday announced the decreased price with effect from Thursday.

According to the BAJUS, the price of 22-karat gold has been decreased to Tk 73,716 a bhari from Tk 77,215 a bhari while the price of 21-karat gold decreased to Tk 70,567 a bhari from Tk 74,066 a bhari and 18-karat gold to Tk 61,819 a bhari from Tk 65,318 a bhari.

The price of traditional gold has been set at Tk 51497 a bhari from Tk 54,995 a bhari, the release said.
