RAPAPORT PRESS RELEASE, January 24, 2018, Las Vegas … The Rapaport Group is pleased to announce the launch of the new
monthly Rapaport Research Report. The report provides unrivaled insight into transaction trends,
market performance and developments throughout the diamond pipeline. It
includes in-depth market analysis along with proprietary Rapaport diamond data.
Each issue of the Rapaport
Research Report will highlight a core topic affecting the diamond industry.
The January edition’s focus, “Credit to the Diamond Industry: Overstocked and Underpaid?” covers the relationship between the trade and the banks, stressing
that if the industry wants to boost its creditworthiness, midstream
manufacturers and dealers must raise their profits, be more transparent and
proactively improve the trade’s reputation.
The report also
provides extensive data from RapNet©, the world’s largest diamond
trading platform, giving a snapshot of search, inventory and transactional information.
This includes average prices, discounts and inventory by country, alongside
search volume, average time to sale, and transaction volume.
This
combination of analysis and real-world diamond trading information offers readers
a powerful understanding of the industry and trends.
The annual
subscription for the Rapaport Research Report is $1,000. The January
issue is being released free of charge to 78,000 Rapaport contacts.
