Short thread

Gold: Mukesh Kumar wrote to me this morning:

"Based on my interactions with contacts across the #gold value chain, the demand this Akshaya Tritiya has been one of the best in recent years and points towards healthy gold demand in 2019."

Gold: Indian #gold imports picked up strongly in April, according to this article from @EconomicTimes, more than doubling based on unofficial data. https://t.co/kZtGLtNySU

Gold: Strong #gold imports were predictable considering the recent run of decent premia data from the NCDEX, which has been around the best levels seen since the start of 2017. https://t.co/lVrdBQs1n3

Gold: And the recent pull back in the rupee-denominated gold price has certainly helped gold demand too.

All in all, this points to decent Q2-19 gold demand from India. We will write up a more detailed #blog comment later for #Goldhub. https://t.co/rUSFd44bpI
