World Gold Council (WGC) said on Tuesday high gold prices have suppressed jewelry sales and investment, and it expects India’s 2026 gold demand to fall to about 650 tonnes, the lowest since 2020. Sachin Jain, head of WGC India, said year-to-date gold jewelry demand has declined and will drag down annual demand. India’s Q3 gold demand fell 29% YoY to 162.5 tonnes; jewelry purchases were down 20% and investment demand down 40%. Seasonal buying around Diwali and the wedding season could support a fourth-quarter rebound.

The State Council's report on financial work was submitted to the NPC Standing Committee for review on Nov. 3, setting five next-step priorities: continue an appropriately accommodative monetary policy; further strengthen and refine financial regulation; improve the fit of financial services to the real economy; steadily deepen financial reform and high-level opening; and prudently resolve key sector risks. To better align finance with the real economy the report calls for improving statistics and assessment systems for the financial sector's 'five major initiatives' and increasing financial support for 'six networks' construction, technology innovation, and micro-and-small enterprises. On reform and opening it seeks to expand RMB international use, encourage more foreign institutions and long-term capital to operate in China, and speed development of a domestically controlled RMB cross-border payment system. On risk containment it instructs use of monetary policy tools to support capital markets, facilitation of market-oriented transformation after financing-platform exits, and routine operation of a real-estate 'white list' mechanism.
