"The rupee plays an important role in determining gold's cost."

India gold buying retreated on Monday afternoon as prices extended gains for a fourth session to hit the highest level in nearly two weeks, with traders eyeing the rupee's movement for direction, dealers said.

"I haven't done anything for the local market; we covered for about 15 kg for exporters," said a dealer with a state-run bullion importing bank in Mumbai.

At 1:46 p.m., the most active gold contract was trading 0.18% higher at 19,843 rupees per 10 grams, after hitting a high of 19,871 rupees, a level last seen on Oct. 19.

The contract had gained 1.9% in the previous three sessions.

The rupee seesawed as domestic share gains and the dollar's losses versus majors were offset by dollar demand from foreign banks for Coal India's share sale-related refunds.

The rupee plays an important role in determining the landed cost of the yellow metal, which is quoted in dollars.

India's festival demand will peak with Dhanteras on Wednesday and Diwali on Friday.

Gold sales during Oct. 31–Nov. 6, when the country celebrates Dhanteras and Diwali festivals, may rise by up to 40% on year, in turn supporting the outlook for record imports in 2010, a senior World Gold Council (WGC) official said on Thursday.

Given the declining global gold production, mining companies’ demand for reserve replacement and the acute dearth of new gold discoveries, there is no doubt that real economic discoveries will be exceptionally valuable. . .the opportunity for stellar profits is the best it has probably ever been. Identifying the few successes, however, will require vigilant and constant technical assessment of geology and drill results, always with an eye to mine economics.

I haven’t spoken to my old mining stock friend, noted and universally respected gold stock guru, Bob Bishop, about Rare Element in a year, but I hear he is still a supporter and very large shareholder.
