Israel:Market sentiment more positive after dealers report sales of 3 ct. and larger diamonds at Hong Kong show. Low inventories supporting prices, with some price increases in fancy shapes.
India:Manufacturers reporting better Hong Kong show than anticipated, boosting market mood. Domestic and overseas demand increasing. Chinese buyers slowly returning, especially for small goods, but quantity of purchases still limited. Polished production remains low, supporting prices and sales.
Hong Kong:
Industry reflecting on show, which beat expectations but was slow relative to pre-pandemic times. Many Indian trade buyers. Dealers following up on sale leads. Fair attracted purchasers from around the world, but few Chinese clients present. Demand was very specific, with exhibitors holding prices firm amid high replacement costs.
