Gold prices could get a boost from increased demand in India, who up until the first quarter of 2012 was the world's top gold consumer. India's demand for the precious metal may rise as a result of monsoon rains. "If we have good monsoon rains, then gold demand could be anywhere between 750 and 800 metric tons this year," said Prithviraj Kothari, President of the Bombay Bullion Association. Mr. Kothari stated that India's gold purchases likely fell by 50 percent in the first half of 2012 to 250 tons from the first half of 2011. According to data from the World Gold Council the country's import of the precious metal totaled 969 tons last year.
