Gold Demand In India
Gold demand in India, the world’s second-largest consumer of the yellow metal, rose 10 per cent to 210.2 tonnes during the third quarter of this calendar year, aided by the softening of gold prices and festive demand, according to the World Gold Council (WGC).
WGC India Regional CEO Somasundaram P R has told PTI that gold prices softened a bit during the last quarter but now they have started inching up. Prices will play a critical role during the Dhanteras festival and wedding season in the next two months.
Trade feedback is that consumers have accepted the ₹60,000 per ten-gram price point, so a downward correction could trigger a significant jump in demand.
Dhanteras is considered the most auspicious day in the Hindu calendar for buying items ranging from precious metals to utensils, to other valuables.
India’s gold demand increased to 210.2 tonnes during the third quarter of 2023 calendar year, from 191.7 tonnes in the year-ago period.
Jewellery demand rose 7% in the quarter under review to 155.7 tonnes from 146.2 tonnes, while that of bar and coin demand increased by 20% to 54.5 tonnes from 45.4 tonnes, it said.
