IDEX Price Report for 1 October: Slight Rise in Polished Diamond Prices

(IDEX Online) - The global pandemic has seen another month of uncertainty in the diamond world.  Most prices and many of the size categories shown remained virtually unchanged during September. Overall, the gains outweighed the losses, but only just, suggesting the industry is still playing more of a waiting game than returning to "business as usual".
