Gold prices have been reaching record highs, and the market for gold in India is responding with discounts jumping to their highest levels in 10 months. As the price of gold continues to rise, retailers in India are offering larger discounts to customers in order to boost sales and reduce their inventory of the precious metal.
The high prices of gold have been a result of a combination of factors, including global economic uncertainty, a weak US dollar, and increased demand from central banks and individual investors.
