Monday, September 11, 2006 (New Delhi):
Gold prices plunged to nearly 10-week low level on the bullion market on Monday on heavy selling by stockiests sparked by reports of a notably weak trend in overseas markets and closed with a loss of Rs 230 at Rs 9110 per 10 gram.

Selling pressure gathered momentum after reports of dip in gold prices to below $600 an ounce in other Asian markets, to a lowest in 10 weeks, matching a decline in crude oil prices, as Iranian and European negotiators reported progress in a second day of talks on a nuclear dispute.

The precious metal in overseas markets dropped by $14.30 or 2.3 per cent, to $596.50 an ounce after touching a low of $592.87, the lowest since June 29.

Traders said speculation that the US Fed might resume interest rate increases when it meets next week, also pushing gold down.

Market also remained weak due to ongoing fortnight of 'Sharads", considered to be an unauspicious period in Hindu mythology to make fresh purchases. The metal lost Rs.540 in last three trading sessions.

A similar trend was noticed in silver amid reduced offtake and silver ready dropped by Rs.650 at Rs.18,300 per kilo. Silver weekly-based delivery lost Rs.850 at Rs.19,200 per kilo. Silver coins also declined by Rs.100 at Rs.21,100 for buying and Rs.21,200 for selling of 100 pieces.

Standard gold and ornaments dropped by Rs.230 each at Rs.9,110 and Rs.8960 per 10 gram respectively. Sovereign fell by Rs.50 at Rs.7500 per piece of eight gram. (PTI)

As far as I know gold prices are not going to come down in the long run, yes there is a lot of fluctuation during the year but if you talk about yearly averages it is just going up and up and up

India looks set to retain its position as the world’s biggest gold consumer in tonnage terms for many years to come, says the World Gold Council in a new report.

Last year India accounted for no less than 22% of global gold jewellery demand and 35% of all net retail investment through gold coins and bars. It is estimated that around 15,000 tons of gold, or 10% of the world’s entire above ground gold stocks, are situated in India .

In a report entitled “The Role of Gold in India”, the council’s investment research manager, Natalie Dempster, concludes that India’s dynamic population and economic growth and religious and cultural affinity to gold will continue to underpin gold demand for many years to come.

Importantly for the world gold market, and its supply and demand balance, she points out that India’s demand will continue to be satisfied almost entirely from imports “as aside from the scrap market very little supply comes from domestic sources.” India has recycled around 105 tons of gold a year over the past five years.

Gold sales in India have averaged 676 tons a year over the past decade, more than one and a half times as much as sales in the US over that period and between three and eight times more than sales in China, Saudi Arabia the United Arab Emirates, the world’s other large gold consuming countries.

To put India’s gold consumption into perspective, its average annual gold sales are more than twice South Africa’s current annual production which has slumped to under 300 tons a year from 1,000 tons a year in the early 1980s.

Not only is gold seen continuing to play a role in many of the 10 million marriages that take place in India every year, the yellow metal is also seen benefiting from India’s solid economic growth which has taken it up to the fifth largest economy in the world. Rural Indians are expected to retain their view of gold as a secure and easily accessible savings vehicle while the rapidly growing urban middle class is also expected to continue investing in gold and buying gold products.

However, Dempster’s report does point to the fact that shopping centres are springing up in urban India and “this will affect traditional gold retailers.” Her research stresses that India’s strong domestic economic performance is likely to continue, providing a strong underpin for gold demand in various sectors of the economy.

Another important finding in her research is that Indian gold demand is not necessarily adversely impacted by rising gold prices as the country’s gold demand rose from 571 tons in 2002 to 750 tons in 2005, a period during which gold prices were in a steady upward cycle. Price volatility, on the other hand, is seen as adversely impacting Indian gold demand.
