Price Sensitivity Divides Asian Gold Markets: India Offers Deep Discounts While China Pays Premiums

Published: 04-17-2025, 04:40 pm | Updated: 04-17-2025, 11:37 am

Physical gold demand in India has virtually disappeared as prices have rallied to unprecedented levels, forcing dealers to offer steep discounts of up to $74 per ounce over official domestic prices. Indian domestic gold prices reached a record high of 95,894 rupees per 10 grams, a level that even market bulls didn’t anticipate a few months ago.

Banks had increased their gold imports in March at significantly lower prices and are now offering these supplies at substantial discounts. Although gold was imported ahead of the Akshay Tritiya festival, the dramatic price spike is expected to dampen festival demand considerably.

In contrast, China continues to show robust demand despite record prices, with dealers charging premiums of $15-$21 per ounce, albeit lower than last week’s $24-$54 premium range. According to independent analyst Ross Norman, this sustained Chinese demand “is a departure from the norm” as Asian buyers typically show more price sensitivity.

The Cantillon Effect: Why Money Printing Makes Some People Rich First

New money doesn’t reach everyone at once: banks and asset holders get it first, wage earners get it last, after prices have already moved. Using Fed balance-sheet data and its own Distributional Financial Accounts, this piece traces exactly how that sequence played out from 2008 to 2022, and why physical gold and silver sit outside the mechanism entirely.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
