The gold market in India doesn\u2019t always make many headlines over here in the UK, but rest assured that it affects you in ways you might not realise. <\/span><\/p>\n

People in India buy and sell an enormous amount of gold and such a large scale of trading doesn\u2019t come without its impacts. Supply and demand on the Indian sub-continent regularly sends ripple effects over to the gold price right here in the UK. <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the deal with India and gold?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

India has always had a strong historical and cultural attraction to gold. So much so, in fact, that the Hindu founding myths are firmly rooted in the value of gold as source of security<\/span><\/a>. Where in the UK, gold is often seen as a luxury, perhaps even a symbol of extravagance \u2013 in India gold is wise, sensible and responsible. <\/span><\/p>\n

After years of financial instability, typified by high levels of inflation<\/span><\/a> \u2013 the Indians know better than anybody else how valuable gold can be. <\/span><\/p>\n

India\u2019s gold market today<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019d paid much attention to the limited coverage of the Indian gold market just a few months ago, you\u2019d have rightly come to the conclusion that it was going through something of a rough patch. Disappointing sales figures<\/span><\/a> and reports of buyers flocking to diamond jewellery<\/span><\/a> instead of gold came after a dip in sales defined 2017\u2019s autumn months.<\/span><\/p>\n

As winter and the New Year approached, however, reports have begun to emerge that the slump was indeed just a temporary trend \u2013 as sales in India\u2019s rural gold market improved by 15 per cent in December<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Does this affect the gold price?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no definitive way to say that this phenomenon has a specific bolstering impact on the international gold price. Rather, it contributes to a range of other factors that mean gold remains secure and reliable<\/span><\/a> in the New Year. And while gold has seen a fairly limited amount of movement over the last six months, factors like this increase the chance of that changing. <\/span><\/p>\n
