The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), Bangladesh's main capital market, experienced an upward trend in trading on both December 29 and December 30, 2024, with Tk 373.8 crore traded on the latter date. Concurrently, the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) announced another reduction in gold prices, marking the third price cut in the last five adjustments. This decision follows a consistent decline in gold prices in the local market. Additionally, remittances from over one crore Bangladeshi expatriates have surged, exceeding $2.42 billion in December 2024, contributing to an increase in the country's foreign reserves, which have surpassed $26 billion. The Bangladesh Bank has attributed the rising demand for US dollars to various factors, indicating volatility in the foreign exchange market.
