Indian Bridal Gold Jewelry.
Q: Nobody managed to fuck it up that badly - even the Australians managed to
offload a lot of gold quite quietly without a major drop - but then they
didn't announce that they would be selling many tons a month for months
to come.
Incidentally, was it not the Tories who really made this into a big
political issue, getting more publicity for the sale, and hence helping
force the price even lower?
A:It is used to produce gold jewellery that is worn at every Indian wedding
and is required to be new.
The gold or the jewelry?
They used to recover gold from computers, (and I presume other
electronic equipment), but I haven't heard of anyone asking for old
PCs for that, I can only presume the price has dropped so much it's no
longer economic.
Massive gold imports occur around the period and very few gold smugglers
are arrested, once the bridal season is over you start getting reports of
smugglers being arrested and imprisoned for long periods.
