"In prices I don't think we see a recovery. The opposite, actually. If we are talking about our May sight, the May trading session, we have actually lowered the prices by 6 percent on average," Andrey Zharkov told Reuters on the sidelines of a diamond conference in Tel Aviv. "I think we saw the same going on with (diamond miner) De Beers' sight prices, according to the information we have," he said. De Beers is a unit of global miner Anglo American Plc . "Expectations (for the rest of the year) -- I think that the price should keep stable," said Zharkov, who in April was appointed president of Alrosa, the world's top producer by output in carats.
