A section of experts believes that gold and silver prices have achieved some stability since the beginning of April. This is because there has been no major change in the prices of these two precious metals during this period. Although fluctuations in the prices of these two metals used in jewellery making have continued this month, they have remained within a specific range. This has brought some relief to jewellery enthusiasts. In this context, while gold prices declined slightly on Thursday, silver prices dropped considerably.
Compared to Wednesday, the price of 24-carat pure gold per 10 grams decreased by 650 taka on Thursday. The price of 22-carat gold per 10 grams decreased by 650 taka. On the other hand, the price of silver per kilogram decreased by 5,350 taka.

You will not be able to buy gold at these rates when you go to the market. It will cost somewhat more than these rates. This is because GST and jewellery-making charges will be added to these rates. While GST is fixed at 3 per cent, these charges may vary from store to store.
