India tops the global ranking with demand nearly 50 times that of its mined supply.
The gold price slid more than $25 or over 2% an ounce on Tuesday to a day low of $1,263 an ounce, levels last seen early February.

Earlier this year Gartman, who does not consider himself a gold bug, said that he has “quietly turned bullish on gold”.
