Summary
Gold buyers are booking jewellery for upcoming seasons six weeks early this year. Prices have dropped significantly from January's record highs, offering a buying opportunity. Consumers expect gold prices to rise if geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran ease. Advance bookings have increased by thirty percent compared to last year. Jewellers anticipate strong booking momentum as consumers secure current rates.
