Gold prices in Bangladesh soared to an all-time high as the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) raised the price of gold by Tk4,199 per bhori, effective from Tuesday morning. Bajus announced the price hike late Monday night, citing an increase in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market. Considering the overall market situation, the association said it has revised gold prices accordingly. Bajus last revised gold prices on January 10, when it increased the price of 22-carat gold by Tk1,050 per bhori to Tk227,856. This marks the fourth adjustment of silver prices in the local market this year, with prices increased twice and reduced twice.
