Gold Price Sell-Off: Manappuram, Muthoot Finance Shares Under Pressure
•Shares of gold financing companies Manappuram Finance, Muthoot Finance, and CSB Bank in focus after a sharp gold price sell-off in global markets.
•Gold prices are down 16% from their peak of over $5,600 an ounce, heading for the worst weekly drop in six years.
•Factors contributing to the decline include fears of economic impact from war, a stronger US Dollar, and dwindling prospects of US Fed rate cuts.
•A fall in gold prices will squeeze the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio for these companies, potentially leading to losses if gold value drops below outstanding loan amounts.
•Lower gold prices will also impact Assets Under Management (AUMs) for gold financiers as ticket sizes per gram decrease.
