Dhanteras loses shine as high prices hit gold sales

New Delhi, Nov 02 (ANI): With high gold prices, curb on gold import and economic downturn, the much awaited festival of wealth, ‘Dhanteras’, failed to bring much trade to the jewellers who saw a low turnover of buyers this year. The Hindu festival, which is known to be auspicious for the purchase of precious metals, especially gold, witnessed a unlike slow business for the jewellery shop owners. Infact, unlike the usual trend on the day of this festival, the prices of the yellow metal declined throughout the day, reason being the low demand. Nov 2, 2013
