Gold prices are not driven by the tension in the global market alone, but domestic demand as well.
"Geopolitical triggers are not the only triggers for Indian prices. One area of growth is the investment bar and coin demand that went up by 47% and was 81% up in the value front. In quarter three, the volume growth was recorded at 42% and the value increased by 83% because of high gold prices. This is not a geo-political sentiment but gold as an asset class for Indians," said Sachin Jain, regional chief executive officer of India of World Gold Council.
Ahead of the budget, Jain expects status quo as the government took a very strong step last budget, to reduce smuggling with the customs duty rate cut, according to him.
