What to watch
- Whether the 22-carat rate stays below roughly ₹14,000 per gram for multiple sessions or rebounds above ₹14,150 per gram.
- International spot gold movement, US dollar strength, Fed-rate expectations and USD/INR depreciation, which can quickly reverse Indian retail-rate declines.
- Weekend and festival-season store footfall, bridal booking volumes, average ticket size and lightweight-jewellery mix.
- Changes in making charges, exchange offers and gold-savings-plan enrolments at large jewellery chains.
- Import-duty, GST or hallmarking-related policy developments that could alter retail pricing independently of global gold prices.
