  • Rupee movement against the US dollar, which can offset global gold-price declines in India
  • Festive and wedding-season jewellery booking trends
  • Jewellery-chain commentary on footfall, average ticket size and gold-weight volume
  • Further moves in global yields, central-bank buying and geopolitical risk that could reverse the price decline
