Indian diamond houses, which cut and polish nine out of 10 stones, told banks last week that the next four months would be crucial.

With China, the second-largest market refusing to pick up, the trade is betting on Diwali, US Thanksgiving (November 23), Christmas and finally Valentine’s Day to push out the unsold gems.

Since peaking at more than seven percent in June last year, inflation as measured by the Fed's favored yardstick has fallen by more than half — though it remains stuck firmly above three percent.
