India’s gold imports to decline 85%
India’s gold imports are set to decline 85% in February from year ago levels to their lowest in 20 years, with demand sapped by record prices for the precious metal. Lower gold imports could help India narrow its trade deficit and support the rupee that is trading near record low against the dollar. India is the world’s second biggest consumer of the precious metal.
Spot gold prices hit a record high of $2,956.15 per troy ounce on Feb 24.India’s gold imports in February are likely to fall to around 15 metric tons, the lowest for the month in at least two decades, from 103 tons in February, 2024,
Some banks have reportedly even moved imported gold stored in customs-free zones in India to the US, where prices are offering a premium.
The sharp import decline comes despite India’s ongoing wedding season, traditionally a period of high gold demand. Weddings are a major driver of gold purchases in India, where jewellery plays a crucial role in bridal attire and gifting customs.
While gold demand remains under pressure, industry experts believe any significant price correction could reignite buying interest in the coming months.
