Does the last month of 2013 bring the first break in the clouds for 2014?
14 january 2014
Rounding up December 2013 is more a ‘wrap-up’ of a rather eventful year for the Indian diamond industry. Besides polished prices being flat and imports of polished diamonds exceeding exports, a much more disturbing matter gripped the industry. The incidences of synthetic diamonds mixed with natural diamonds, was a matter of great concern for the industry members, who were baffled on how to tackle this problem. On the manufacturing side, high rough prices and diamond financing continued to be a problem during the month, especially for the small and medium diamond cutting units.

The exception to this is the purchase of the ADB by the Yinren Group, but I think this may be rather more the exception proving the rule than any reason to hope for an overall increase in liquidity or indeed a slackening in liquidity tightening.
2014: Growth Potential
09 january 2014
(Rapaport) - The mood in the diamond industry has already improved in 2014. Initial reports suggest the Christmas season was better than expected for the diamond trade and the U.S. appears inclined toward growth again. Of course, no one expects the diamond market to boom in the year ahead, but there is a sense that dealers and manufacturers will be more aggressive to ensure that they make money in 2014.
