Gold prices in India and China have shifted from discounts to premiums, marking the first time in approximately two months. This change is attributed to a correction in prices from record highs, which has stimulated retail demand. In India, dealers charged premiums of up to $15 per ounce, a rise from last week's discounts. Similarly, China saw premiums of $3 per ounce. This shift occurred as international spot gold continued its rally, ending 2025 with significant gains.
