(IDEX Online) - Polished diamond prices showed very little movement in June, significantly less than May. There was a scattering of modest increases and decreases among sporadic colors and clarities, but not enough to draw firm conclusions about where the market is heading. Rounds showed marginally more activity than fancies and overall movement was up rather than down, but only just.
