How this all pans out remains to be seen. Meanwhile, we will keep you updated on the latest developments from this space.
Gold Imports Rise Amid Global Price Rally
India's gold imports rose 12.6% in June from a year earlier to US$ 2.7 billion amid a jump in global prices to six-year highs. In India, local prices jumped to a record high in June, moderating demand from retail consumers.
However, imports were 44% lower in June from May's US$ 4.8 billion.
Vijay Bhambwani, in his recent article has explained why gold prices are on the rise and how it's not a cause for cheer.
Here's a snippet from the article:
- Gold is the cave investors hide in, when the mind is overwhelmed with fear and alternate investment ideas run out.
The Indian investor in gold is a breed apart. He must contend with the local currency peg as well. It's a well-known fact that the INR has a history of depreciating between 3.5% to 5% per annum on a long period average (LPA) basis. Every time the INR falls versus the Dollar, gold rises on currency considerations alone. This is why gold is off its peak in Dollar terms but it's near lifetime highs in INR. Any further depreciation and gold rises.

From the Commodity Space...
Oil prices slipped on Tuesday as concerns that the global economy could be slowing outweighed an agreement by producer club OPEC on Monday to extend supply cuts until next March.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries agreed on Monday to extend oil supply cuts until March 2020 as members overcame their differences to try to prop up the price of crude.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday he had agreed with Saudi Arabia to extend global output cuts until December 2019 or March 2020, and Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said on Tuesday he was 100% confident of an OPEC+ deal.
Meanwhile, US crude oil stockpiles were seen falling for a third consecutive week. While the US and China agreed at a recent group of 20 leaders summit to restart trade talks, factory activity shrank across much of Europe and Asia in June while growth in manufacturing cooled in the United States weighed on oil prices.
