Quote:
"A three-week nation-wide strike among jewellers after the government announced plans to double import tax to 4 percent on bullion and double the duty on non-standard gold and gold jewellery to 10 percent hit retail demand.

The 10 percent excise duty on non-branded jewellery was later withdrawn by the government".


Yeah, I read about this both on Yahoo and elsewhere. Yet another example of the saying that "the best way to get less of something is to tax it".

I would imagine that seasonal buying ups and downs plus the recent slowing in the Asian economies may have had some effect on this as well.
