In the broader global market, gold prices edged lower on Tuesday. According to goldprice.org, spot gold stood at $4,284.48 as of 12:50 p.m. New York time on Dec. 16, down 21.41 points or 0.50 percent from the previous session.

Despite the pullback in global prices, investment appetite in India, the world’s second-largest gold market, remained resilient. As quoted by Kitco on Tuesday, World Gold Council (WGC) India Chief Executive Officer Sachin Jain said India recorded a record $10 billion in gold investment purchases in the third quarter of 2025.

Jain said gold has increasingly become a core investment asset among Indian households as allocations to the precious metal continued to rise, a trend he expected to persist in the coming quarters.

World Gold Council data showed investment demand in India surged 20 percent year on year in the third quarter to 91.6 tons. However, total gold consumption in the country declined 16 percent to 209.4 tons, as jewelry demand fell 31 percent to 117.7 tons amid higher prices.

Investment demand accounted for 40 percent of India’s total gold consumption in the first nine months of 2025, the highest proportion on record, according to the WGC. Jain added that gold demand in the fourth quarter was projected to exceed third-quarter levels, supported by festival and wedding-related purchases.

Despite the seasonal boost, he said total physical gold demand in India in 2025 was likely to range between 600 and 700 tons, the lowest level since 2020 and well below last year’s 802.8 tons.
