India’s August gold imports hit 3-year low as prices jump to record - 

India’s gold imports plunged 73% in August from a year ago to the lowest level in three years as a rally in local prices to a record high and a hike in import duty discouraged retail buying, a government source said on Wednesday.

Lower imports by the world’s second-biggest consumer could cap gains in global prices that are trading near six-year highs but would help the south Asian country bring down its trade deficit and support the rupee. India imported 30 tonnes of gold in August, down from 111.47 tonnes a year ago, said the source, who asked not be named as he was not authorized to speak to media. In value terms, August’s imports fell 62% to $1.37 billion, the lowest since August 2016.

On Wednesday, local gold futures hit an all-time high of 39,770 Indian rupees ($556.29) per 10 grams, taking their gains to more than 26% in 2019.
