The price rise has restrained the retail demand for gold in India, the world’s second largest consumer of the precious metal.

While in overseas market, gold surged more than 1% on Wednesday to its highest in nearly nine years, followed by a weaker dollar, thus, ensuring a security of buying.

Although the price rise has been restraining the retail demand, the investment demand is improving, said a bank dealer with a chunk importing bank in Mumbai.

“But share of investment demand is very small compared to retail purchases,” he added.

India’s gold imports in the June quarter tumbled 96% from a year earlier to 13 tonnes after shipments hit pause in April and May.
