🪙 India & China See Gold Premiums Return as Prices Pull Back from Record Highs

After hitting all-time highs in late 2025, gold prices have eased, prompting buyers in major markets India and China to pay premiums for physical gold once again. Retail demand is rebounding as the sharp peak retreats.

India: Domestic prices fell to ~₹136,700 per 10g. Dealers are now charging premiums up to $15/oz over official rates.

China: Gold flipped from a discount to a $3/oz premium, signaling renewed retail appetite.

Global Market: International spot gold continues its rally after 2025’s 64% gain—the largest since 1979.

💡 A pullback from record highs often rebalances physical markets, making gold more accessible and reviving premiums in major consumer hubs.
