Polished Diamond Prices Rise in June

July 05, 15 by Ken Gassman

After languishing for most of the month, global polished diamond prices perked up notably in the final days of June. The rise in diamond prices is most likely related to the “jewelry show” effect. As traders gather and hold goods for the particular show, fewer items are available in the trading centers, causing prices to go up.  

 

The IDEX Index of Global Polished Diamond Prices averaged 130.1 during June, up from May’s average of 128.7. The good news: prices remain well ahead of the year’s low of 123.7 in February.

 

Polished diamond prices reached a daily IDEX index high of 132.9 on the last day of June, and have held near that level for the first few days of July.

 

Polished diamond prices were flattish most of the month, then showed a spike on June 27. Since then, prices have been flat at the new higher level.
