Gold Indian

Gold Imports Dropping in India

India is thought to be the largest consuming country of gold on Earth, a large amount of it being jewellery  of investment quality (with a high level of caratage and insignificant design markups). Privately possessed gold in Indian is estimated at fifteen thousand  tons. But with gold market prices sky high a lot of Indians are rushing to sell off their gold, seeing this as a chance to make money before gold prices go down again. Current gold prices in India are 15,790 rupees per 10 grams (US $317.70)

Under regular circumstances, India imports 90% of the gold it requires to fulfil demand. But since Indians are becoming net sellers of gold, imports have dropped sharply. In January merely 1.8 tons of gold were brought into India, in contrast with 14 tons in January, 2008. So far, no gold has been brought into India this month (Feb, 09). This continues with the general downward trend of 2008, throughout which only 660 tonnes were imported, compared to the usual 700-800 tons.

The beginning of the year is a time in India when people give gold as gifts, as part of India's wedding season. Wedding-goers are still buying, but aren't raising their budgets. They're just getting a reduced amount of gold with the same budget. And seeing as so many people are selling their gold, the local supply can fill the demand for wedding-ceremony gold without imports being necessary.

A considerable proportion of Indians think that the present gold prices are the pinnacle of the market and plan to sell their gold and re-buy it soon when the market price drops again. However, even though Indians may have become net-sellers of gold, the rest of the world are becoming net-buyers of gold, something which will likely continue as economic turbulence goes on.

Indian Valley $19.72 It is estimated that Indian Valley in Plumas County was inhabited by the Maidu people for 10,000 years. It was then and is still a beautiful valley, surrounded by lush forests and flowing rivers. Pioneer Peter Lassen was the first white man to see its beauty. The Gold Rush caused the first population boom, and towns sprang up around the valley. Huge copper finds, in later years, increased the valleyas population once again and brought in the railroad. After the mining started to fade there were many farmers, ranchers, and loggers working to replace the jobs lost from the mines closing. Today Indian Valley is home to several picturesque towns such as Taylorsville, Greenville, and Crescent Mills.

The Indian Fighter $9.76 Rated: NRSynopsis: The Indian Fighter is trail guide Kirk Douglas, who agrees to shepherd a wagon train through Sioux territory. Douglas tries to convince the Sioux to leave his charges alone, but such hotheads as drunken white trader Walter Matthau and embittered Indian brave Harry Landers escalate the tensions. Douglas is forced to go "mano y mano" with Landers; Douglas wins, but refuses to kill Landers, having lost his taste for killing. But when Matthau and his partner Lon Chaney Jr. contrive to rob the Indians of their gold, Sioux chief Eduard Franz prepares to wipe out the settlers. Only when Douglas risks life and limb to bring Matthau and Chaney Jr. to justice does Franz relent. Somehow, Kirk Douglas manages to link up with two leading ladies in The Indian Fighter: his Italian "discovery" Elsa Martinelli and his own ex-wife Diana Douglas (wouldn't you liked to have been a fly on the wall at that casting call?) The first film assembled by Douglas' own Bryna Productions, The Indian Fighter is a particular treat when seen in color; incredibly, its first network telecast in 1962 was in black and white.

The Last Indian War $24.95 This newest volume in Oxford's acclaimed Pivotal Moments series offers an unforgettable portrait of the Nez Perce War of 1877, the last great Indian conflict in American history. It was, as Elliott West shows, a tale of courage and ingenuity, of desperate struggle and shattered hope, of short-sighted government action and a doomed flight to freedom. To tell the story, West begins with the early history of the Nez Perce and their years of friendly relations with white settlers. In an initial treaty, the Nez Perce were promised a large part of their ancestral homeland, but the discovery of gold led to a stampede of settlement within the Nez Perce land. Numerous injustices at the hands of the US government combined with the settlers' invasion to provoke this most accomodating of tribes to war. West offers a riveting account of what came next: the harrowing flight of 800 Nez Perce, including many women, children and elderly, across 1500 miles of mountainous and difficult terrain. He gives a full reckoning of the campaigns and battles--and the unexpected turns, brilliant stratagems, and grand heroism that occurred along the way. And he brings to life the complex characters from both sides of the conflict, including cavalrymen, officers, politicians, and--at the center of it all--the Nez Perce themselves (the Nimiipuu, "true people"). The book sheds light on the war's legacy, including the near sainthood that was bestowed upon Chief Joseph, whose speech of surrender, "I will fight no more forever," became as celebrated as the Gettysburg Address. Based on a rich cache of historical documents, from government and military records to contemporary interviews and newspaper reports, The Last Indian War offers a searing portrait of a moment when the American identity--who was and who was not a citizen--was being forged.
