Market reduced due to fears of lockdown, people are afraid to go out
The terror of Corona, which came to the country in March last year, is once again at its peak. At a time where it seemed that Corona had left the country, only then the terror of the second wave of Kovid has filled people with apprehensions. This corona has made its impact in all areas. In such a situation, the revival of Kovid has once again affected all businesses big and small in Surat. Even goldsmiths are not untouched by this.
According to the report of ANI, Corona has also deeply affected the business of gold jewelery. Jewelers said that after the increase in corona infected cases in the country for the last four days, there is a huge decline in business. In this regard, a jeweler Deepak says that after recovering from the initial effects of Corona, somehow the business was going well. But once again now the corona is spreading and in such a situation, there is talk of lockdown again, due to which the markets are apprehensive. Although we used to keep some money aside as savings, but in view of the better condition of the market during the lockdown, we have used these savings to buy gold. In such a situation, there has been a decline in business for the last 4 to 5 days. Although PM Modi has said that there is no intention to impose a second lockdown, but the night curfew will definitely continue.
At the same time, another jeweler Choksi said, “Presently the business was very good after the lockdown. The situation has changed for the last 3 to 4 days. Customers are feeling scared to step out of their house due to the increase in corona cases, But I am taking it positively as gold is a very safe investment and people will come back to it even in these troubled times.”
