IDEX Price Report for 1 September: Rounds Down, Fancies More Mixed

Price drops dominated again, as they have done for many months. The majority of price movements, both up and down, were among 2.00-cts to 5.99-cts. Among 0.50-cts to 1.24-cts goods, price drops were primarily among G+ and VS1+. There were small pockets of price increases, notably among 1.25-cts to 1.49-cts. No clear trends among goods under 0.50-cts.

Fancies

More of a mixed picture among fancies than rounds. Price decreases still outweighed increases, but with little in the way of clear trends. Most activity was in goods 1.50-cts to 5.99-cts. Among 1.00-cts to 1.25-cts most activity was downwards, and was mostly in G+ and VS2+ goods.
