Jewellers expect Dhanteras sales to rise in value as gold and silver prices fall from recent highs. Stakeholders say the shift in pricing encourages demand for both investment-related purchases and traditional gifting on the festival, which is widely viewed as an auspicious day to buy precious metals.
One outlet reports expectations of a significant uplift in Dhanteras sales, with demand led by coins and bars for investment alongside jewellery for gifting traditions. Another outlet adds more detail, citing forecasts for gold and silver: value growth is expected to increase (while gold volume is expected to be flat year-on-year), with consumers also leaning toward lightweight jewellery and smaller-ticket buys. It also notes the broader context affecting sentiment, including inflation concerns linked to geopolitical tensions and drought-like conditions.
A separate report largely aligns with the core message that jewellers anticipate higher Dhanteras sales as metal prices decline, but it does not add further pricing or forecast figures in the provided summary. Overall, coverage converges on the link between falling prices and increased spending expectations for the festival.
