India conflict presents strange split in gold effects

if war/conflict tensions remain high, then many wealthy Indians put their money into gold, exiting banks, think about moving out of the country, with their money more mobile in the form of gold

if detente rules the day, then weddings continue as planned, more weddings take place, and dowries are presented in the form of gold

surely some weddings will go off despite conflict
surely some wealthy will secure money in gold despite detente

my personal take is that those who WATCH India-Paki tensions are the main buyers of gold
India remains the largest cash market for gold in the world
85,000 tons per year in jewelry
those guys dont trust banks much, nor paper crapp money
why the Western World does is beyond me
