Malabar Gold & Diamonds' Shamlal Ahamed said that although the market has seen an increase in the price of gold over the past few weeks, there hasn't been a corresponding rise in the number of people looking to sell their gold jewelry.

There has been a downturn in consumer spending, but Ahamed predicted that it will pass quickly because Eid and the auspicious Akshaya Tritiya celebration are just around the way, which should rekindle consumers' desire to buy.

Although there has been a temporary decline in discretionary gold purchases as a result of the constant rise in gold prices, Ramesh Kalyanaraman, executive director of Kalyan Jewellers, noted that there has been prior booking for the Akshaya Tritiya.
