Amar Ambani, Senior President and Head of Research – Institutional Equities, YES SECURITIES said, "Bitcoin to an extent has cannibalized demand for Gold, given its inherent value prop of high liquidity, secure custody and limited issuance. If speculative interest in Gold is also anything to go by, an equivalent of 200 tons of net long positions, representing 15 per cent of open interest, have been cut. Gold holdings in SPDR Trust have also fallen to lowest level since May 2020." He said that gold price may depricite more if the INR vs USD continues to trade in favour of the Indian currency.
