2007年6月22日 全球首批钻石价格衍生品合约即将出炉

Investors who fear that high diamond prices may not be forever will soon have help at hand.

银行家和钻石专家将在未来数日推出两项举措，以创建全球首批与钻石价格挂钩的衍生品合约。

Bankers and diamond experts are to launch two initiatives in the coming days to create the world's first derivatives contracts linked to diamond prices.

钻石市场一直是全球大宗商品领域最隐秘、最不透明的市场之一，此举可能为该市场注入新的价格透明度。此外，此举可能使消费者在购买钻石时享有更大的议价权。

The move could inject new price clarity into the diamond market, which has been one of the most secretive and opaque corners of the global commodities sector. Also, this could give consumers more bargaining power when buying diamonds.
