RAPAPORT... Alrosa sold $365 million worth of diamonds last month amid a
steady rough market, the Russian miner reported Monday.
Revenue for June included $354.4 million from rough sales
and $10.6 million from polished, the company said.
“We consider the existing rough diamond market environment
to be stable, though we saw a seasonal slowdown by the end of June,” said Alrosa
vice president Yury Okoemov.
First-half sales stood at $2.5 billion, with rough-diamond
proceeds amounting to $2.44 billion — a 4% decline from the previous year, according to Rapaport
calculations. Strong rough demand enabled Alrosa to reduce its inventory during
the six-month period, with many of these stockpiles comprising smaller, lower-value diamonds, the company previously reported.
