The IMF plans to sell another 203.3 tonnes of gold and they have not found a another big buyer yet.

Gold sales in India, the world’s biggest consumer, have been poor during the holiday season amid record prices and the nation’s imports will decline, according to the head of the Indian Bullion Market Association.
Imports in the final quarter will be about 50 metric tons compared with a quarterly average of 100 to 120 tons, President Anjani Sinha said in an interview. “Demand hasn’t picked up and Indians are selling jewelry actually,” he said.

High prices pulled down Dubai retail gold sales by 40% in September.
