Jewelry News:
De Beers, the largest player in the Diamond market made positive comments about improving conditions in the diamond sector.

The Taliban seized 2 dormant Pakistani emerald mines and re-opened them under Taliban control. The impact on the emerald market should be mild as the area produces a small supply of mostly small, low-quality stones.


Precious Metals Pricing & Trading Action:
Gold: Gold Settled on Friday at $913, up $35 on the week.
Gold seems to be trading in a range and is currently at a major pricing support area. Some indicators are showing that it may have "topped" out. The trend is still overall bullish.

Silver: Silver finished the week at $12.90 for a gain of $.80.
Silver is also in a trading range and the trend is neutral with a bearish bias.

Platinum is at major resistance after a large run up the past year.
Trend is now neutral.

Jewelry News: Mumbai, India—In response to the economic turmoil impacting businesses worldwide, the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) announced on Friday that India is curtailing the import of rough diamonds for a month, beginning Nov. 25.

New York—Both QVC and Jewelry Television are slashing their staffs in response to slowing sales in the face of the current economic crisis.

Precious Metals Pricing and Trading Action:
Gold - settled on Friday at $745, down $11 for the week.
Gold's trading range over the past month has gotten a bit tight... could see a break in the next week or 2 - tough to tell which way at this point. Overall trend is still bearish. Take advantage of the recent downside activity and purchase a Gold Chain today!

Silver - closed at $9.57 and was down .86 for the week.
Silver's chart looks similar to Gold's and if the recent lows can hold I wouldn't be surprised to see an upside break back to the 20 Bar Exponential Moving average for a nice 1 to 2 month bounce higher. If the recent low's do break, I expect another 5% downside move at the very least.

Platinum - finished the week at $843 and lost $35 during the week.
Overall Trend is bearish and its coming up against some major pricing support, which if it breaks to the downside - more price erosion is sure to be seen. Should see some choppy trading action over the next week or 2.

Overall the metals look technically weak on the weekly trading charts, however all have had decent size moves lower since the spring + summer high points and with all the turmoil in the economy - a trading range may develop over the coming months and leading into the New Year. On the Monthly charts - Gold has held its support but Silver and Platinum have broken through it. Gold appears the strongest metal at this point in reference to trading action.
