Despite Gold Not Sinking, Indian Demand Rises

The reason why is advance buying in anticipation of the wedding season and a slight decline in rupee terms:
"Good demand was there at USD 1,135-1,137 (an ounce) as the rupee is acting in favour. We did about 50-70 kgs since morning," said a dealer with a state-run bank in Mumbai.

The Indian rupee was trading close to near two month highs as strong domestic shares and a sharp fall in the dollar versus major currencies supported sentiment. A strong rupee makes the dollar-quoted asset cheaper.

Since part of it is seasonal, the demand is likely to wane as the season ends.
