From technical point of view, diamond is not a financial product, it’s not correct talk about output. Diamond are potentially submitted to oscillation of price. The main factors of each oscillation are:
- World course of diamond market as a commodity, especially for the quota represented by the quality reserved to the use of precious stones;
- Variation of the rates of change: US$ is the currency of reference of the diamonds;
- Volumes of commodity introduced on the market: retrieval of new mineral deposits destined to the extraction and commercial politics of the extractors
- Commercial politics of the trasformers and the operators on the different levels of the sector;
- Embargo politics towards manufacturing countries;
- Imposition of customs duties due to the change of international politics on trade between member states;
- Changes on the purchase patterns form clients of jewelry and precious goods;
- Extreme social and economic events, armed conflict, environmental disaster;
