thebalanced.newsJewellery Stocks Fall Sharply After PM Modi Urges Postponement of Gold Purchases
Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to postpone gold purchases and non-essential foreign travel for one year to conserve foreign exchange amid the West Asia crisis, jewellery stocks including Titan, Kalyan Jewellers, Senco Gold, and Sky Gold fell sharply, with declines up to 12%. The government’s call aims to reduce import bills and ease pressure on forex reserves. Investors fear a slowdown in gold demand, especially during the wedding season, while some speculate on potential hikes in gold import duties. Travel and oil stocks also faced declines amid broader economic caution.
