Stock market slump and strong dollar affecting sentiment. Volatile euro and record-low Indian rupee (INR 81.90/$1) squeezing dealer liquidity. Singapore show opens to mixed expectations; Chinese buyers limited by Covid-19 travel restrictions. Rough market seeing reduced demand. Manufacturers have enough inventory ahead of Diwali break. Pear, 18.18 ct., fancy-vivid pink expected to fetch $25M to $35M ($1.4M-$1.9M/ct.) at Nov. Christie’s Geneva sale.
