Why this sudden mad rush to buy gold in India?

Gold is considered as the sign of wealth and a glittering ornament for the women of India. Not in any other country in the world, there is such a demand for ornamental gold as in India. It is one of the major reasons that India consumes more gold than anywhere else. Also, this Aadi month which is famous for discounts and with Aadi Perukku the gold rush continues unabated today also.

The other reasons for this mad rush of gold:

• Yesterday President Trump announced the imposition of 10% tariff on 300 billion worth of Chinese imports starting from September 1st
• Due to Trump's announcement, the trade tensions renewed between the countries sending bond yields lower to make investments in gold a Safehaven
• Also, this move by Trump has increased the chances for the US Federal Reserve Bank to decrease the interest rates 
• After the Trump announcement, the gold increased by 2.5 % in the global markets and the gold MCX future September contract were trading 0.5% high at 41,179
• India has surpassed China for the first time since 2013 to be the largest consumer of gold in the world
• India's gold consumption for June increased by 13%
• Already gold has risen 10 % in India from the start of this year
• The 2019 budget has hiked the import duty on gold to 12.5% which is the main reason for the surging gold prices

Gold prices may further soar in the coming months to surpass the all-time highs. For today the gold price may depend on the release of the US non-farm payrolls later in the day.
