“India’s gold imports in June are estimated to have fallen drastically to 35-40 tonne, less than a quarter of what the purchases in May were because of state restrictions, triggering a sharp rise in premiums in the local market and raising a question mark on the survival of small jewellers. The acquisition cost of the yellow metal has shot up as bullion dealers are now charging a premium of up to Rs 350 per 10 grams over and above the metal’s international price, up from only Rs 40 two weeks ago. The premium, along with the increase in landed price of gold because of the rupee’s depreciation, has denied Indian buyers the benefit of the fall in international prices last month.”
