(IDEX Online News) – There was a great deal of movement this week, with the shift in prices tending much more to the positive than we have seen for some time.

 

Despite reports from Hong Kong that trade was not exceptional, the show seems to have created the rise in prices that we tend to see before an important trade show. Now we have to wait and see if this price rise is real and sustained, or if it was just another pre-show “bubble.”

 

Following are some of the main changes in this week's IDEX Online Diamond Price Report.
