Gold price hits new record high of Tk 127,942 per bhori

Gold prices in the country hit a historic high of Tk 127,942 a Bhori and the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) decided to make the rate effective from Monday.

The local jewellers raised the price of the highest quality 22-carat gold by Tk 1,936 per bhori (11.664 grams), Bajus said in a statement on Sunday.

The price hike has been attributed to the increase in the price of pure gold (acid gold) in the local market.
