What to watch

  • MCX gold sustaining above ₹144,500 per 10 gm or breaking materially higher.
  • MCX silver holding above ₹225,000 per kg, indicating continued momentum beyond gold.
  • Rupee depreciation against the US dollar, which can amplify domestic bullion prices even if global prices stabilise.
  • Festival, wedding-season and Raksha Bandhan demand indicators, including jeweller footfall and exchange volumes.
  • Import-duty, GST, hallmarking or RBI policy changes affecting retail spreads and consumer financing.
  • International gold ETF flows, US rate expectations, geopolitical risk and central-bank buying.
  • Track gold and silver volume trends separately from value growth at major jewellery chains.
  • Expect promotional emphasis on exchange offers, EMI schemes, low-making-charge designs and lightweight collections.
  • Monitor retailer hedging disclosures and inventory turns; elevated prices increase funding needs and margin risk.
  • Watch for a larger mix of coins, bars and digital-gold-linked purchases if price momentum persists.
  • Assess whether silver's sharper move increases industrial-demand concerns and reduces silverware affordability.
