Gold Prices Fall Nearly 4%, Selective Buying Supports Festive Jewellery Demand
Gold prices in India have declined nearly 4% over the past month to around Rs 1.47 lakh per 10 grams, encouraging selective buying ahead of the festive and wedding season. Consumers are favoring lightweight, studded, and lower-carat jewellery, along with old-gold exchanges to balance affordability and style. While demand remains resilient, growth in gold jewellery sales moderated in the September quarter as buyers awaited price stability. Industry experts expect continued volatility influenced by global economic factors, with festive and wedding demand supporting the market.
