In 2010, the phenomenal jump in gold continued and Indian domestic prices jumped to the Rs 18,000 levels, as gold became a safe haven bet as investors shunned other asset classes including equities and real estate which performed poorly in the previous few years.
2011
In 2011 gold Indian gold climbed to Rs 26,000 levels as problems in Greece and the peripheral region of Europe sent international gold prices higher. Equities as an asset class continued to perform poorly, as growth rates in Europe and the US began to dwindle.
2012
In 2012, Indian gold hit a historic peak in excess of Rs 32,000 per 10 grams, as the rupee depreciated and international prices of gold rose.
April 2013
By April 2013, international prices of gold slumped as the Dow Jones hit a historic peak and economic recovery in the US gathered steam and stimulus measures in Japan pushed equities higher. Investors dumped gold for equities on hopes of economic recovery. Indian gold slumped to the Rs 26,000 levels, the lowest level in 2 years.
