MUMBAI, June 11 (Reuters) - India's gold buying remained slow on Thursday, with well-stocked traders unwilling to enter into fresh deals as the wedding season nears its end, dealers said.
Domestic prices edged higher tracking a weak rupee, that makes the dollar denominated asset expensive.
The most active August contract MAUQ9 was 0.34 percent higher at 14,644 rupees per 10 grams at 2:10 p.m..
"It (gold buying) has slowed down a lot. Traders have enough stock to meet demand and even weddings are almost over," said a dealer with a private bank in Mumbai.
"There are stray enquiries, but no one is committing," said another dealer at a state-run bank.
The Indian rupee extended its fall in afternoon trade tracking losses of more than 1 percent in domestic stocks with lower Asian units also adding to the bearishness. See [ID:nBOM485466]
Dealers said there could be intermittent buying if prices fall by around 5 percent from current levels.
"Interest could come in at around 14,000 rupees" said the dealer at the state-run bank.
