What to watch
- Whether MCX gold sustains below roughly ₹155,000 per 10g or rebounds above the recent ₹155,600 area.
- Silver's direction relative to gold, as a sharper silver correction could increase silver jewellery and gifting promotions.
- Festival and wedding booking volumes, store footfall and advance-payment conversions over the next two to four weeks.
- Changes in making charges, retailer discounts and old-gold exchange premiums, which indicate competitive intensity and inventory pressure.
- Rupee movement and global bullion prices, which can reverse domestic retail-rate relief quickly.
- Launch short-duration rate-linked campaigns, booking offers and transparent daily-price communication ahead of wedding and festive demand.
- Prioritize replenishment of lightweight, lower-ticket and high-rotation designs instead of expanding broad gold inventory exposure.
- Review hedge coverage, old-gold exchange pricing and inventory valuation sensitivity to another bullion move.
- Track conversion rates separately for bridal, everyday jewellery, coins and exchange-led sales to distinguish genuine demand from rate-watching.
