Rapaport Press Release, January 26, 2017, New York ... The Rapaport Group released its annual Diamond Price Statistics Report 2016 today, evaluating the performance of polished diamond prices.
The report demonstrates that while diamond prices fell in 2016, the diamond market improved from the slump experienced in the second half of 2015. Miners and manufacturers displayed greater inventory discipline to prevent an oversupply of polished and inflation of rough prices that caused the correction in the first place. Midstream stock levels fluctuated within a more conservative range, as manufacturers and dealers are still realigning their inventory to cope with sluggish consumer demand.
The Rapaport Diamond Price Statistics Report provides an in-depth analysis of trends in polished diamond prices, comparing price changes in specific diamond categories. The report charts the progression of polished diamond prices and indexes in various sizes throughout the year and across a period of up to 39 years. In doing so, it provides a complete study of the history and current standing of the global diamond market.
Also included in the report is a diamond investment analysis detailing how various diamond categories have performed over the past 10, 20 and 25 years in relation to other common investment instruments.
The all-inclusive report is available for purchase online at http://store.rapaport.com/ for $250 and has also been released in the January 2017 issue of Rapaport Magazine for all respective subscribers.
