News: All eyes on next week’s Hong Kong Show which will provide an important indication of Far East diamond and jewelry demand. Polished suppliers hoping that renewed Far East demand will improve industry sentiment and stabilize price levels. Buying activity expected to be selective and price sensitive as global economic slowdown creates uncertainty about future demand. Rough trading quiet and stable following De Beers approximate 10% price cut with DTC boxes fetching low single-digit premiums. U.S. July polished imports -15% to $1.8B, polished exports -13% to $1.2B. Japan’s July polished imports +31% to $85M. Best wishes to all for a happy, healthy and prosperous Jewish New Year.
