A
post-holiday calm characterizes the
U.S.
market, where good demand for high-quality goods in top makes is still notable.
The Belgian exchange is seeing slow movement, with many traders in
Macau
for the jewelry show there.
Ramat Gan
also experienced an absence of traders, local and foreign, due to the
Macau
show; however, healthy activity continues to prevail there.
In
Mumbai, decent movement continues to define the trading atmosphere, and both
high asking prices and strong demand continue for larger sizes. Traders in
Hong Kong
have very high expectations that they will see a successful and profitable
show, a sentiment boosted by a good amount of foreign traders and inventory that
has been brought in from overseas.
U.S.
Large
sizes enjoyed strong demand and firm prices right up to the holidays; however,
in the days following the New Year, the market quieted down and demand levels
dropped. Demand for high-quality goods in top makes is still present, while
lower-end goods are sluggish. Retailers are busy calculating holiday sales, and
the industry is fairly quiet. Fancy colored goods maintain healthy demand.
