Neutral summary
The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) cut gold prices in the domestic market, effective from 10am on Thursday, 22 October 2026. Prothom Alo and Amar Desh reported the cut of up to 1,691 taka per bhori (about 11.66 grams), including VAT, bringing the price of 22-carat gold to 2,26,340 taka. BAJUS said the cut followed a fall in the price of pure gold and silver; Prothom Alo said the main cause was a fall in international gold prices, down about 44 dollars an ounce that day and about 150 dollars over the past month. Prothom Alo attributed the trend to rising US dollar bond yields drawing investors away from gold, despite the US-Israel war with Iran. Silver prices were also reduced. Dainik Sangbad said the cut came after the Durga Puja festival and was announced by BAJUS's standing committee on pricing and price monitoring. Ajker Patrika and Jugantor reported the new prices, with Jugantor citing the previous 3,266-taka cut on 13 October.
Where accounts differ. Reported 22-carat prices differ across outlets (2,26,340 taka in Prothom Alo, Amar Desh and Dainik Sangbad versus 2,26,279 taka in Ajker Patrika), and only Prothom Alo attributes the price fall to US bond yields and the Iran war.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
