Why it matters
Gold demand in India has dropped as prices rebound, with a jeweller saying consumers are waiting for a correction. Tata Mutual Fund says gold has corrected sharply from its January peak but remains supported by central bank buying, fiscal risks and geopolitical uncertainty, while silver also looks constructive because of supply deficits.
