> So gold in rupees rose even faster than in dollars

Correct, a point often overlooked when it is claimed a weak dollar is inherently good for gold. If you bought your gold in rand, rupees, or other currencies you currently have even greater profits than $US investors, which can result in selling gold !

Indian and Chinese gold consumers are probably the most price sensitive gold consumers in the world. We should probably do a study on the "price elasticity of gold demand" for various countries. Earlier this year there was much made of Japanese buying, which was up 300% (or more) from very low levels, but when the largest gold consumer in the world starts selling it can easily offset all the Japanese buying.
