The Diamond Industry Is in a Pricing Crisis

Anglo’s De Beers unit will mine 1 million carats less than previously forecast in both 2020 and 2021, according to an investor presentation on Tuesday. That equates to less than 1% of global output, but slows the pace of the company’s expansion as an oversupply of rough diamonds weighs on the industry.

De Beers’s buyers have grown increasingly frustrated with the cost of rough stones as the price of polished gems slump. That’s led to wafer-thin margins and losses for some of the traders buying stones from De Beers and Russian rival Alrosa PJSC.
The crisis has spread to engulf the world’s diamond miners as well. De Beers, which dictates prices to its select group of clients, reported sales through November were more than $1.2 billion lower than the same period in 2018.

The company, which says it mines to meet demand, has responded by offering more flexibility to its customers, allowing them to reject some purchases. Last month, De Beers cut prices across the board by about 5%.

Even so, the company’s production is still set to rise to as much as 34 million carats next year, from 31 million carats in 2019.

Gold Fall 60% of Consumption in Rural India This Year 2019

GOLD FALL :: Investment demand for gold, which had slipped by 35 per cent in the July-September quarter, may decline further in the fourth quarter of 2019 as rural India has stayed away from investing in gold after the kharif crop harvest. Investment demand for gold in rural India, which picks up every year after harvesting of the kharif crop, has plunged 50-60 per cent this year compared with a year ago.

Crop loss due to heavy and unseasonal rains this year has kept farmers away from gold purchases. Farmers are now buying gold only for wedding purposes, and the ticket sizes are small. Of the 850-900 tonnes of gold consumed annually in India, rural consumption accounts for nearly 60 per cent.

THE NEXT LEG OF GOLD RALLY GOLD needs to top $1,515

It has been a mixed year for gold as after reaching $1,580 in early September, prices corrected to $1,450 on optimism of US-China trade deal. Equity markets are trading at record highs, which again means that funds are flowing into stocks, as investors are in risk on mode. The US dollar is getting stronger, another headwind for gold.

With fears of a global recession abating and treasury yields reversing course, investors seem to have lost momentum and has crashed from $1,580 to sub $1,500 levels. Now gold is near $1,450-$1,440, which is its support zone.

In spite of the recent correction, performance for 2019 is still positive and bullish picture has not deteriorated from medium to long term point of view.
