Suddenly the price of gold increased in the world market
There has been a sudden rise in the price of gold in the world market over the last week. Gold rose by more than $25 per ounce in a week. Through this, after falling in price for about a month, the trend of gold prices in the world market has been seen to increase.

However, if the trend of price increase continues, the decision to increase the price of gold in the country market may come next Monday (October 25).
In this regard, General Secretary of Bangladesh Jewelers Association (BAJUS) Dilip Kumar Agarwala said, "We have seen the issue of rising gold prices in the world market. The decision to adjust the price of gold in the country's market has not yet been taken. We'll see you next Monday. If the trend of rising prices in the global market continues, the price of gold will be adjusted in the domestic market as well.
