What to watch
- MCX gold and silver futures direction over the next 5-10 trading sessions, especially whether gold holds below ₹151,000 per 10 grams.
- Movement in INR/USD, US-Iran negotiation headlines, US rate expectations and global ETF flows, which can reverse the bullion decline quickly.
- Festive-season jewellery footfall, advance bookings, gold-exchange volumes and wedding-order pipelines across organised chains.
- Retailer commentary on inventory gains/losses, hedging coverage, gross margin and same-store sales growth.
- Magnitude of regional retail-rate cuts versus wholesale bullion declines; a lag may signal margin retention rather than full pass-through.
