Gold prices: China scraps full VAT offset for retailers; jewellery stocks plunge as bullion holds near $4,000
                                    
                                    
Gold prices stabilized near $4,000 an ounce after China's tax rebate changes for retailers and jewelers initially caused a dip. The new rules limit VAT deductions, impacting jewelry stocks significantly. Despite this, strong investor appetite and core rally factors suggest continued bullish sentiment for the metal.
