ORO, INFLAZIONE È MITIGATA DAI RISULTATI

(ICE) – ROMA, 23 DIC – GHANA – La compagnia mineraria aurifera AngloGold Ashanti ha registrato un aumento del 20% nella produzione del terzo trimestre, cosa che l’ha aiutata a ridurre i costi del 6% rispetto allo stesso periodo dell’anno prima. Lo riporta una dichiarazione di AngloGold, in cui si ricorda che il gruppo estrae in Argentina, Australia, Brasile, Repubblica Democratica del Congo, Ghana, Guinea e Tanzania ed ha prodotto 738.000 once d’oro nel trimestre di settembre, aumentando i guadagni del 5% a 472 milioni di dollari. Secondo il gruppo un maggiore contenuto di oro nel minerale estratto e guadagni di efficienza hanno contribuito a compensare l’impatto dell’aumento dell’inflazione in Ghana. L’aumento dei prezzi del carburante e dei reagenti utilizzati per la lavorazione del minerale ha assorbito i guadagni di molte società minerarie. “L’inflazione ha un impatto su tutti noi, ma dobbiamo contrastarla nel miglior modo possibile”, ha detto ai giornalisti l’amministratore delegato Alberto Calderon. I costi di sostegno complessivi, una misura del costo complessivo di produzione, sono scesi a 1.284 dollari l’oncia, dai precedenti 1.362 dollari. La miniera di Obuasi in Ghana, che sta aumentando la produzione, ha contribuito ai risultati più alti. Obuasi ha un grado recuperato di 7,3 grammi d’oro per tonnellata, rispetto a una media del gruppo di 2,2 grammi per tonnellata. (ICE ACCRA)

NEW PROSPECTS FOR THE LUXURY INDUSTRY

(ICE) – ROMA, 20 DIC – According to a study, the luxury industry is known for 3 main factors: quality, for 64% of luxury customers; crafts, for 42%; and creativity, for 38%. According to Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Comité Colbert, however, sustainability is the key to innovation and development. The industry is currently facing several changes in terms of supply chain, product life cycle, customer relationships, corporate responsibility, and globalization. For 60% of consumers, luxury should become a promoter of environmental and social transition initiatives and for another 85% fashion houses should focus more on managing the entire life cycle of their products. When it comes to digital, 65% of respondents believe that the luxury industry is at a disadvantage compared to other sectors. Nearly 7 in 10 people view the digital experience of luxury brands as far removed from the in-store experience. Investing in the metaverse can be an opportunity to secure a customer touchpoint. 64% of consumers, aged 18-34, believe the metaverse makes it easier to discover luxury brands and 59% believe it can replicate the function of social media as we know it today. It is estimated that up to 2025 the greatest growth will take place outside Europe and the United States. Apart from China, the luxury market is expected to increase exponentially in India to $3.7 billion in 2026, due to population growth and increased urbanization. Companies will need to reassess the risks of globalization and ensure that supply chains are agile enough to quickly adapt to increasingly uncertain environments. Collaboration between sector operators is the key to launching a profound transformation of the sector and developing solid and shared standards. The industry must reconcile sustainability, use, rarity, and innovation. A crucial strategy for product lifecycle management is the used market. (ICE HOUSTON)

GIAPPONE – NEI GG.MM. VENDITE POSITIVE PER GLI ARTICOLI DI VALORE ELEVATO

(ICE) – ROMA, 7 DIC – Il 24 novembre, l’Associazione dei grandi magazzini giapponesi ha annunciato che nel mese di ottobre le vendite totali dei 186 punti vendita appartenenti a 71 catene di grandi magazzini sono state pari a circa 428,1 miliardi di Yen (2, 97 miliardi di Euro). Si tratta di un aumento dell’11,4% su base annua e dell’ottavo mese consecutivo di crescita. Anche il numero dei clienti che visitano i GG.MM. è aumentato, +9,4%.
Oltre alla generale ripresa dell’afflusso di avventori, a contribuire all’aumento delle visite dei clienti ai GG.MM. è stata la ristrutturazione/riapertura di alcuni dei negozi.
La domanda di articoli di fascia alta – come prodotti dei marchi di lusso, orologi e gioielli – si è mantenuta elevata, con un aumento delle vendite di belle arti, gioielli e metalli preziosi del 17,8% rispetto all’anno precedente. Il valore raggiunto e’ stato di 13,29 miliardi di Yen (92 milioni di Euro) per il 21° mese consecutivo di crescita su base annua.

IMPORT ED EXPORT ALLE STELLE PER GIOIELLERIA E OROLOGERIA TEDESCA

(ICE) – ROMA, 7 DIC – Il terzo trimestre del 2022 registra una performance eccellente. Sebbene l’esportazione di gioielli sia in calo rispetto al 2° trimestre, in confronto agli anni precedenti le esportazioni mostrano un forte miglioramento con un aumento del 20,4% rispetto al 2021 e del 61,5% rispetto al 2020. In totale, alla fine del terzo trimestre sono stati esportati gioielli per un valore di 2,15 miliardi di euro, rispetto agli 1,65 miliardi del 2021.

Questa tendenza è evidente anche negli orologi e nelle parti di orologi. Nel terzo trimestre del 2022 sono stati esportati prodotti per un valore di 434 milioni di euro, con un aumento del 9,2% rispetto all’anno precedente. Nei primi tre trimestri del 2022 sono stati esportati beni per un valore totale di 1,23 miliardi di euro, con un aumento del 15,7% rispetto al 2021 (1,06 miliardi di euro).

Risultati positivi anche per l’importazione: 1,60 miliardi di euro per i gioelli nei primi tre trimestri del 2022. Rispetto allo stesso periodo dell’anno precedente, questo rappresenta un aumento del 22,4%. Per gli orologi e le parti di orologi si registra invece aumento del 14,1% rispetto all’anno precedente.

Sarà interessante analizzare i dati del 4° trimestre, in cui si è visto un calo generale degli ordini. Il forte aumento dei prezzi per i produttori, nonché il calo del potere d’acquisto dei consumatori finali mostreranno i primi effetti. Tuttavia, la Bundesverband Schmuck und Uhren (Associazione federale dei gioielli e degli orologi) guarda alla fine dell’anno con un certo ottimismo.

ROUGH DIAMOND PRICES LIKELY TO REMAIN FIRM IN FY24

(ICE) – ROMA, 8 DIC – Rough diamond prices are likely to remain firm in FY2024 as no major ramp-up in mining output (of rough diamonds) is expected over the next two years. This, coupled with recessionary pressures, shall continue to exert pressure on the revenues and profit margins of Indian cut and polished diamond (CPD) entities in FY2024, according to credit rating agency ICRA.

While CPD entities have maintained a strict control over the working capital cycle so far, which has limited their dependance on working capital debt, their ability to do so going forward remains critical from the credit perspective.

Sakshi Suneja, Vice president & Sector Head – Corporate Ratings, ICRA Limited said “While opening up of other spending avenues, unwinding of surplus liquidity globally and inflationary pressures in key consuming After witnessing a sparkling performance in FY2022, Indian diamantaires are facing demand moderation in FY2023, led by regions of the US and Europe. The cost pressures also remain elevated due to firm rough prices (due to continued controlled and lower-than-pre-pandemic supply by min ..

She added “Faced with lower demand, cut and polished diamond (CPD) entities’ ability to pass on these elevated raw material costs remains restricted, which would adversely impact their operating profit margins (OPMs). As a result, ICRA expects the revenues and OPMs of CPD players to decline by 8-10% and by 50 bps respectively in FY2023.”

INDIA TRADE MINISTRY SEEKS TO CUT GOLD TARIFF TO CURB SMUGGLING

(ICE) – ROMA, 6 DIC – India’s trade ministry is discussing a reduction in import taxes on gold to rein in illegal shipments, according to people familiar with the matter.

The world’s second-largest consumer of the precious metal, almost all of which is purchased from abroad, has asked the Finance Ministry to consider reducing the tariff to about 10% from 12.5%, two of the people said, asking not to be identified as the deliberations are private. It’s as yet unclear if the recommendation will be accepted and a decision could be announced at or before the budget presentation due early next year, they added.

The matter presents a dilemma for Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who needs to keep imports low to contain a widening trade deficit, but smuggling robs the government of much-needed revenue. Her administration had raised the tariffs in July, following which the nation’s purchases tumbled.

A Finance Ministry spokesperson declined to comment and a Commerce Ministry representative didn’t respond to email and text message seeking comment.

India’s gold imports fell 23% in July-September from the same period a year ago, according to World Gold Council data, following the tariff increase.

The bullion industry is seeking a reversal of the tax increase made in July and a reduction in the goods and services tax to 1.25% from the current 3%, according to the All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council.

“The higher import tax is creating problems in the domestic industry as it increases unofficial goods coming in and benefits the illegal trade,” said Ashish Pethe, chairman of the Mumbai-based trade group. “Our long-term suggestion is that the duty should be anywhere between 4%-6%, where the government will also get a good enough revenue and illicit trade will also not be there.”

OROLOGI E GIOIELLI: SVIZZERA NON PIÙ LEADER MONDIALE, ORA È LA CINA

(ICE) – ROMA, 1 DIC – La Svizzera non è più numero uno al mondo nel mercato dell’orologeria e della gioielleria: è stata superata dalla Cina, emerge da uno studio settoriale pubblicato dalla società di consulenza Deloitte. Il gigante asiatico a partito unico controlla una quota del 30% del ramo, mentre il paese di Guglielmo Tell è al 27%. La Confederazione brilla nel campo degli orologi, mentre in Cina è soprattutto il settore della gioielleria a rivestire una grande importanza: gruppi quali Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang e Chow Tai Seng sono riusciti a crescere fortemente. La ricerca di Deloitte ha preso in esame le 100 più grandi aziende del pianeta attive nel comparto dei beni di lusso e si riferisce all’anno 2021. Nella precedente analisi del 2019 la repubblica dei 26 cantoni era ancora leader indiscusso del segmento. La Svizzera piazza comunque due imprese nelle prime dieci al mondo – Richemont e Rolex – e otto nelle prime cento. Richemont è fra l’altro il gruppo che ha realizzato il fatturato in assoluto più elevato nel comparto orologi e dei gioielli, seguito da Chow Tai Fook e Rolex. Più in generale nell’intero ramo del lusso la società di gran lunga più importante rimane tuttavia la francese LVMH. Oltre agli orologi – i marchi elvetici Tag Heuer e Hublot appartengono al gruppo – e ai gioielli l’azienda riunisce sotto lo stesso tetto anche diversi marchi di moda e pelletteria, profumi e cosmetici, vini e liquori, nonché altri prodotti.

ISRAEL-UAE DIAMOND TRADE REACHES NEW HEIGHTS

(ICE) – ROMA, 30 NOV – Links between diamond industries of two countries have quickly advanced after Abraham Accords

On September 17, 2020, just two days after the signing of the Abraham Accords in Washington and the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and the UAE, the Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE) and Dubai Diamond Exchange (DDE) signed a cooperation agreement.

The document committed the IDE and DDE to establish offices in the other’s headquarters and promote bilateral trade and joint projects.

For Israel, the diamond industry is a long-established key sector of its economy whose beginnings pre-date the establishment of the state. The trade in precious stones had for centuries attracted the Jewish merchants of a diaspora scattered across the globe and in need of a universally-accepted, easily-transported currency. In the 1930s, Jewish dealers from Germany immigrated to then pre-state Israel, bringing their expertise in polishing and trading precious stones. The IDE was established in the Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Gan in the 1960s and now boasts some 3,100 members, while cut and polished diamonds account for some 23 percent of Israeli exports.

KERALA JEWELLERS LIKELY TO OFFER UNIFORM GOLD RATES

16 Novembre 2022, India – Leading Kerala-based jewellers, such as Malabar Gold & Diamonds, Joyalukkas and Kalyan Jewellers, have decided to offer a uniform gold rate to consumers based on the bank rate.Gold rate varies from state to state depending on the rate fixed by the gold associations in the respective states. However, jewellers often charge different gold rates within the same states. “We are offering a uniform gold rate across all our showrooms in the country,” said Joy Alukkas, chairman, Joyalukkas Group.The decision to offer a uniform gold rate was taken during discussions held recently with the All Kerala Gold & Silver Merchants Associations, which sets the rate of gold in the state. “Kerala has become the first state in the country to launch a uniform gold rate,” said Surendra Mehta, national secretary, India Bullion & Jewellers Association.On Tuesday, 22 carat gold of 916 purity was available for ₹48,435 per 10 gm. “Being a top gold consuming state in the country, Kerala can set the stage for a countrywide roll-out of uniform gold price,” said MP Ahammed, chairman, Malabar Group. “Gold rate should be uniform across the country based on the bank rate. However, in most states, gold is priced ₹150-300 per gram extra over the bank rate. In Kerala, gold used to be sold at different prices on a particular day. Uniform gold price based on bank rate offers an opportunity to the consumers to purchase gold at a reasonable and transparent price.”Read more at:https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/cons-products/fashion-/-cosmetics-/-jewellery/kerala-jewellers-likely-to-offer-uniform-gold-rates/articleshow/95541281.cms (ICE MUMBAI)

THE PERFECT STORM: LAB-CREATED DIAMOND JEWELLERY REPORT

2 Novembre 2022, Australia – With the crisis in Ukraine causing significant issues to the international supply of natural diamonds, the door has been opened for lab-grown diamonds to capture a larger share of the market. Alrosa is responsible for approximately one-third of the world’s supply of diamonds. With Russia now shut out of the market, according to the experts at Bank of America, the world’s supply of diamonds is now at its lowest since 2008. Alrosa’s major international rival, De Beers Group, has increased diamond production in the first quarter of 2022 however according to CEO Bruce Cleaver, any further rise is unlikely. Paul Zimnisky, one of the world’s foremost global diamond industry analysts said that Lab-grown diamonds were already on the rise prior to the war in Ukraine, with him estimating that global sales increased by 40 per cent in 2021 alone. The supply of lab-grown diamonds is now believed to be around three million carats per year. If correct, that would mean lab-grown diamonds now account for more than 10 per cent of total diamond jewellery sales. Zimnisky has revised his predictions for the decade ahead, forecasting a 20 per cent annual increase in lab-diamond jewellery sales through to 2027. While these issues in the international wholesale channels disrupt the supply, it doesn’t mean it impacts consumer preference. That is, at the domestic consumer level, the general sentiment towards lab-grown diamonds remains very much divided. Jeweller contacted a number of Australian retailers to verify claims that more people are buying lab-grown diamonds in preference to natural stones. While it was commonly reported that customers are increasingly eager to learn more about lab-grown diamonds, many retailers remain staunchly wary of the product itself. Shiels Jewellers was founded in Adelaide in the 1940s and today, has 40 stores across Australia. Managing director Toby Bensimon says that from his perspective, lab-grown product is more popular with younger people.“It is split demographically with some millennials preferring them over natural stones. As this demographic grows we expect demand to grow further. Kerryn Hasler, managing director Ecali Fine Jewellery in Perth, echoes the sentiment that younger customers are increasingly interested.  “I would say that approximately 30 per cent of our engagement rings which we now sell, have a lab-grown diamond as the centre stone. “I think the younger generation is probably also more environmentally aware, and few shy away from the idea of mined diamonds, and the impact this has on the environment.” This enthusiasm isn’t universal, however. Darren Daley, the co-owner of 5th Avenue Jewellers in Brisbane added “I fully understand the marketing of synthetic diamonds as being green and conflict-free. However, all-natural diamonds from reputable diamond merchants sold in Australia, are conflict-free. “I often look at the synthetic diamond market and wonder how many actually understand that the feed source of the carbon for CVD-grown synthetic diamonds, is methane, which is one of the largest pollutants on the planet, that’s not to mention they use microwave energy in production and HPHT requires enormous amounts of energy to produce. I’m sure these companies may use solar panels, how much energy is coming from the grid? How green are they actually?” Daley also questioned the cost behind cutting and polishing lab-grown diamonds, particularly in comparison with the cutting and polishing process for natural diamonds.  (ICE SYDNEY)

ENORME CRESCITA DELLE VENDITE DUTY-FREE NEI GRANDI MAGAZZINI GIAPPONESI

25 Ottobre 2022, Giappone – Il Giappone sta già assistendo a netti segnali di ripresa dei consumi da parte dei turisti in arrivo. Alcuni grandi magazzini stanno infatti registrando un aumento delle vendite duty-free fino a venti volte rispetto ai livelli dell’anno precedente.La revoca dell’11 ottobre delle restrizioni all’ingresso nel Paese, precedentemente decise per contenere la diffusione della pandemia, insieme al deprezzamento dello yen hanno portato ad un aumento del numero di visitatori provenienti dall’estero che acquistano articoli di lusso, come orologi e articoli di marca di alta gamma, presso i grandi magazzini in Giappone.Presso  il GG.MM. Matsuya, situato nel lussuoso quartiere di Ginza a Tokyo, nei giorni feriali  le vendite duty-free sono aumentate di circa dieci volte rispetto all’anno precedente e domenica 16 ottobre sono salite di circa venti volte. Nel negozio Mitsukoshi di Isetan Mitsukoshi Holding a Ginza, le vendite duty-free sono aumentate di circa dieci volte nella settimana fino al 16 ottobre, grazie a vivaci vendite di orologi e gioielli. “Lo yen più debole è la forza trainante mentre l’aumento dei visitatori stranieri, che si prevede continuerà, fungerà da volano”, ha dichiarato un funzionario di Mitsukoshi.Tra l’11 e il 17 ottobre, Sogo & Seibu ha visto quintuplicarsi il numero di clienti stranieri nei suoi 10 punti vendita di tutto il Giappone rispetto all’anno precedente.Tuttavia, i visitatori in Giappone sono principalmente turisti provenienti da Hong Kong, Taiwan e Corea del Sud, mentre quelli provenienti dalla Cina continentale, che in passato avevano stimolato i consumi con le cosiddette spese esplosive, o “bakugai”, si vedono ancora raramente.Il valore delle vendite duty-free rimane tuttavia molto inferiore ai livelli pre-pandemici.

THE JEWELRY INDUSTRY, EXPORTS ALMOST DOUBLED IN THE FIRST HALF YEAR

6 Ottobre 2022, Indonesia – The country’s jewelry industry managed to export products with a value of US$2.37 billion during the first half of this year. Jumped almost 2 times from the same period last year. Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita said that in the January – June 2021 period, Indonesia’s jewelry exports only reached US$1.23 billion. The main destinations for jewelry exports from Indonesia include Switzerland (35 percent), the United States (26 percent), the United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong (11 percent each). In 2021, Indonesian jewelry exports also recorded an increase in export value on an annual basis. Indonesia’s jewelry exports in 2021 will increase by 76 percent year-on-year (YoY). Indonesia’s jewelry exports throughout 2021 increased from USD 1.47 billion in 2020, to USD 2.59 billion in 2021. In addition, the Trademap.org report stated that the market share of Indonesia’s jewelry exports to the global market in 2021 was 2.5 percent by ranking 14 of all countries exporting jewelry products. The total market share rose 0.5 percent from the previous year. This, said Agus, shows the Indonesian jewelry industry still has the opportunity to continue to grow and develop in increasing its market share. So far, the Ministry of Industry has made a number of efforts to accelerate the growth of the jewelry industry. Among other things, facilitating the participation of industry players in national and international scale exhibitions. As well as, encouraging the reduction of import duty tariffs on jewelry products in export destination countries through the use of international trade agreements. (ICE GIACARTA)
