What to watch
- Whether MCX gold and silver extend declines for several consecutive sessions rather than reverse immediately.
- Retail premiums and city-level price dispersion, which indicate local inventory tightness and physical demand.
- Jewellery-store footfall, exchange volumes and advance bookings ahead of wedding and festival occasions.
- Rupee movement against the US dollar and global gold prices, which can overwhelm domestic futures declines.
- Changes in making-charge discounts, EMI offers and retailer promotional intensity.
