India's gold demand up despite high prices, but rally may cut demand to 4-year low: WGC
The Business Guardian
|May 01, 2024
In the midst of fluctuating global markets, India’s affinity for gold remains steadfast, with the country’s demand for the precious metal witnessing a notable surge in the March quarter.
-
According to the latest report by the World Gold Council (WGC), India’s gold demand escalated by 8% during this period, reaching a substantial 136.6 tonnes. This uptick, despite gold prices soaring to historic highs, underscores the enduring importance of gold in India’s economic landscape.
A key driver behind this surge in demand was the robust economic environment prevailing in the country. Despite the challenges posed by escalating gold prices, India’s economy demonstrated resilience, providing a conducive backdrop for heightened gold consumption.
Additionally, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) played a significant role in bolstering gold demand through its aggressive gold purchases. The central bank’s proactive approach contributed to the overall momentum in gold acquisition during the quarter.
