Indian dealers this week offered a discount of up to $39 an ounce over official domestic prices, including 6 per cent import and 3 per cent sales levies, up from a discount of $10 to $21 last week.
Indian dealers this week offered a discount of up to $39 an ounce over official domestic prices, including 6% import and 3% sales levies, up from a discount of $10 to $21 last week.
“Jewellers are not keen on building high-cost inventory at the end of the financial year, as they are busy closing accounts,” said a Mumbai-based dealer with a bullion-importing bank. India’s financial year runs from April until March 31.
India’s gold imports are set to tumble 85% in February from year-ago levels, reaching their lowest levels in 20 years, as demand is dampened by record-high bullion prices.
In China, the world’s largest consumer, gold traded at a discount of $1 to an $18 premium over spot prices. Meanwhile, dealers in Hong Kong charged premiums ranging from par to $2 per ounce.In Japan, bullion was sold between a discount of $3 and a premium of $0.5, a trader said.

This Raksha Bandhan, Turn A Timeless Bond Into A Keepsake With Palmonas
Turning A Timeless Tradition Into A Keepsake Of Sibling Love
Raksha Bandhan has always been about more than a thread tied around a brother’s wrist. It is a celebration of a bond built over years, from childhood arguments and inside jokes to being each other’s constant through life’s biggest moments. As siblings grow older, the relationship may evolve, but the feeling behind it only becomes stronger.
This Raksha Bandhan, Palmonas brings a contemporary touch to the traditional ritual with its Rakhi collection, designed to celebrate the sibling bond in a way that can be cherished beyond the festival. Palmonas’ Rakhis bring this thought to life by transforming a familiar festive symbol into a keepsake that can be worn and treasured even after Raksha Bandhan. The collection features two distinct options, each offering a different take on the timeless ritual.
The Demi-fine® Rakhi is crafted from Stainless Steel with an 18K gold-tone finish, bringing together contemporary design and meaningful symbolism. The collection features the Harmony Mandala Rakhi, accented with 9 cubic zirconia stones, which symbolizes harmony and balance. Inspired by the mandala, its intricate design reflects the togetherness shared between siblings. The Eternal Tree of Life Rakhi draws inspiration from the symbol of the Tree of Life, representing prosperity, growth and strength. The Guiding Star Rakhi, embellished with 10+ cubic zirconia stones, symbolizes guidance, hope, and protection, reflecting the special bond between siblings and the promise of always being there for one another. Each design is finished with a comfortable knotted thread, bringing together thoughtful symbolism and contemporary craftsmanship.
For those looking for something more timeless, the Silver Rakhi collection is crafted from fine silver, offering a refined take on the traditional Rakhi. The Eternal Infinity BRO Fine Silver Rakhi, designed for brothers, features two white cubic zirconia stones and symbolizes the strength and lifelong bond between siblings. The Eternal Evil Eye Fine Silver Rakhi features the iconic Evil Eye motif, a classic symbol of protection and good fortune, thoughtfully designed to celebrate the unbreakable bond between siblings.
At its heart, Raksha Bandhan is about showing up for each other. The gifts may change with time, but the emotion remains the same. With its Rakhi collection, Palmonas celebrates this evolving expression of sibling love, giving a familiar tradition a modern, wearable form that can become a lasting reminder of the bond between brothers and sisters.
Because some bonds deserve more than a moment, they deserve a keepsake.
