Rapaport Intelligence Report - August 2026

The Rapaport Intelligence Report is essential reading for those seeking to understand diamond price trends and the current state of the industry throughout the diamond pipeline.

The report also offers the regular exclusive Rapaport Trade data for 0.30-, 0.50-, 1- and 3-carat natural diamonds, including average prices, discounts, inventory by country, and search volume. It presents the volume of goods moving onto and off of the Rapaport Trade platform, and the average time it takes them to do so. In addition, this issue contains a new section analyzing data on the recent performance of 0.30-carat diamonds.

In addition to reviewing the global rough, polished and retail markets, each month the Rapaport Intelligence Report focuses in on a key issue affecting the diamond industry, providing definitive analysis and insight, while assessing the potential impact on your business and the industry as a whole.

This edition captures the inventory situation in the US, investigating whether dealers and retailers have enough – or too much – stock ahead of the important holiday season. It tracks inventory movements during the traditionally slow summer period, using exclusive data from Rapaport Trade, and asks how the confirmation of 10% tariffs on Indian goods in late July impacted these. It also looks at how supply cuts, pricing and demand are affecting American buyers’ willingness to acquire goods.
