Indian jewellers have imported a massive amount of gold in September when the international rates were quite subdued. This will pay them now when the prices are rising again ahead of the festive season. India has increased its gold imports in September by 658% than 2020's lower base.

Now as the gold is glittering again in the global markets and commenting on this, Mike McGlone, Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist told Kitco, "It's only been about a year since gold's last peak, and we believe it should be a relatively short matter of time to revisit. Gold has outperformed most major commodities in the past 20 years." However, he added, "Gold, like treasury prices, has an enduring bull market in its favor, and a correction within that trend improves its relative value. Gold appears too cold approaching the start of 4Q. Risks tilt toward a continuation of September's stock-market volatility, which should favor gold in 4Q."
