At recent sales, De Beers has permitted sightholders to purchase fewer goods to address oversupply and demand issues as part of a strategy to ‘rebalance’ the market.

The final sales cycle for 2023 took place between 9 November and 19 December, producing $US130 million ($AU193 million) in sales.

This marked a decline of 69 per cent on a year-on-year comparison; however, it was a 51 per cent improvement in sales from October.

“De Beers continued to offer lower levels of rough-diamond supply, in line with current demand,” said CEO Al Cook.

“Polished-diamond prices look to have stabilised as inventory levels have decreased, though we expect improvements in rough-diamond trading conditions to be gradual.”

De Beers’ 2024 sales schedule is as follows:

• 15-19 January
• 26 February - 1 March
• 2-5 April
• 6-10 May
• 10-14 June
