India’s gold market in June 2024 showed a mixed performance, with investment demand and central bank purchases offsetting weak jewelry sales. Despite a slight decline in June, gold prices remained high, with year-to-date gains of 16%. Gold ETFs continued to see strong inflows, with assets under management reaching INR344bn, a 54% year-over-year increase. The Reserve Bank of India made its largest monthly gold purchase in nearly two years. However, jewelry demand remained subdued, and there was a significant widening of discounts between domestic and international gold prices. Looking ahead, jewelry demand is expected to pick up during the festival season starting in August, while interest in bars and coins is anticipated to continue.
