Message: [QUOTE="Shamiso, post: 93043, member: 160"] Bangladesh’s 22-carat gold rate crossed Tk200,000 per bhori in October 2025, reaching Tk200,726 after another BAJUS increase. By September 26, 2026, the published rate was Tk232,930 per bhori, including VAT, which shows why two isolated prices tell you very little about the route between them. A useful gold price history chart in Bangladesh needs to separate the local BAJUS jewellery rate from the international spot price of bullion quoted in Bangladeshi taka. BAJUS publishes local sale rates by carat, while a bullion chart tracks the market value of gold itself. For any dated BAJUS quote, the units used in [URL='https://goldmidi.com/community/threads/how-to-calculate-the-gold-price-in-bangladesh.78453/'][B]a Bangladesh gold price calculation[/B][/URL] still depend on 11.664 grams per bhori, even when the historical comparison stays in bhori. [HEADING=2]The 2025 surge was fast rather than smooth[/HEADING] Looking at Bangladesh gold prices over the last 10 years can make the rise look almost continuous, but the shorter record is much rougher. In September 2025, 22-carat gold was cut to [URL='https://goldmidi.com/community/threads/dhaka-jewellers-yank-gold-price-buyers-still-gutted.47435/']Tk192,969 per bhori[/URL] after a previous record of Tk194,859, so even a strong upward period included reversals. The next leg arrived quickly. On October 7, the [URL='https://goldmidi.com/community/threads/gold-price-hits-record-tk2-lakh-in-bangladesh-as-bajus-hikes-rates.50255/']Tk200,726 per bhori milestone[/URL] pushed the official 22-carat rate above Tk2 lakh, and by late December the [URL='https://goldmidi.com/community/threads/gold-hits-record-high-now-over-tk2-27-lakh-per-bhori.66325/']rate had moved above Tk2.27 lakh[/URL]. A gold price in Bangladesh year by year view can hide how closely those changes were packed together. The same issue appears when comparing gold prices in Bangladesh over the last five years with a much shorter window. A five-year line is useful for direction, while a Bangladesh gold price over the last year shows the recent swings more clearly. Both views can be accurate while giving very different impressions of volatility. A Bangladesh gold price over the last 30 days also needs the dates of actual BAJUS revisions, not merely a line between month endpoints. If several days share the same applicable rate, repeating the value does not represent a new pricing decision. It means the previous rate remained in force. [HEADING=2]June 2026 created a break in the retail series[/HEADING] Historical comparisons become trickier in June 2026 because Bangladesh changed the jewellery tax system. The previous 5 percent VAT was replaced by a specific tax of Tk2,500 per bhori, and BAJUS began publishing gold ornament prices with that tax included. A chart that mixes earlier BAJUS base prices with later VAT-inclusive sale prices without labeling the change is not perfectly like-for-like. This matters most for a Bangladesh gold price over the last month or a 30-day Bangladesh gold price chart when the selected window crosses a pricing-rule change. It matters less for a Bangladesh gold price over the last seven days, provided every point comes from the same BAJUS pricing regime and the same carat grade. Daily comparisons need another small correction. BAJUS changes the rate when it issues a new price decision, not because the calendar reached another midnight. Yesterday’s gold price in Bangladesh can therefore match today’s applicable rate if no revision occurred, while today’s Bangladesh gold price versus yesterday’s can show a large move when a fresh notice takes effect. [HEADING=2]Local jewellery history is not the global spot chart[/HEADING] A Bangladeshi taka bullion chart and the BAJUS retail series can move in the same broad direction without matching point for point. International gold is usually quoted by troy ounce, while the domestic jewellery market uses bhori and carat grades. Exchange-rate movement also changes what a dollar-denominated ounce costs in taka, so the [URL='https://goldmidi.com/community/threads/bangladesh-bank-buys-353-million-to-steady-the-taka.44370/']taka-dollar market[/URL] can alter the local-currency picture before jewellery-specific pricing enters the comparison. A 22k gold price history in Bangladesh should therefore use 22-carat BAJUS announcements consistently instead of splicing them together with 24-carat spot conversions. The highest gold price in Bangladesh history also needs a defined series, because the record for an official 22-carat jewellery rate is a different statistic from the record international gold price converted into BDT. A gold price history versus inflation comparison asks a different question, because nominal taka prices do not show how purchasing power changed. For gold prices in Bangladesh over the years, the cleanest comparison uses one source series, one purity, and one unit, then marks tax or methodology changes instead of pretending the line is perfectly uniform. Short windows answer timing questions, while longer windows show the trend without hiding the rule changes underneath. [/QUOTE]
