India’s Biggest Jewelers Have a Diwali Plan for Gold: Buy Less of It
India's largest jewelers are holding back on gold purchases during the Diwali season, waiting for cheaper prices instead of stocking up as usual. Gold traded at $4,044.65 on Wednesday, down 3.26% from a month earlier, according to Trading Economics. India and China together account for about half of global gold demand, so a pullback from Indian buyers during peak season removes a key source of physical demand and could weigh on prices.
