Closing Price — Luxury Equities & Alternative Asset Signals

July 3: The Week the Retailer Told the Truth: Watches of Switzerland Rose by Admitting the Slowdown, While the Divergence Held This week, the split we have tracked all quarter held wide open: the listed luxury names lagged even as the broad market climbed to new highs and the auction rooms set record after record. Kering, the group behind Gucci, had the worst of it, down about 7 percent. The one m...

July 2: Luxury Stocks Finally Rally With the Saleroom: LVMH, Hermès and Kering Jump 3%+, Chanel Buys Charvet, and a Record Tequila For the first time in a while, both sides of the divergence moved the same way, and that way was up. The listed luxury names did not merely steady after Monday's stumble, they rallied hard, and they did it even as Wall Street was heavy. At the same time the industry it...

July 1: Same Split, New Quarter: the Luxury Equities Stay Soft, Watches of Switzerland Drops Its £3B Goal, and the Saleroom Keeps Setting Records Today's signal: continuity. The second half opened where the first closed, the listed luxury names under pressure while the demand data pointed the other way. This week the divergence got a corporate stamp: Watches of Switzerland is abandoning its goal t...

June 30: As H1 Ends, the Two Luxury Markets Finish in Opposite Places; Kering Slides While Christie's Paris Jewels Double Their Estimate Tonight, the first half of the year closes with the two markets we track in opposite places. The listed luxury names limped to the line, with another soft session led by Kering, while the saleroom ended the half at its highs, Christie's Paris jewels doubling thei...

June 29: On a Risk-On Day, LVMH, Hermès and Kering Slipped While the Nasdaq Jumped; the Demand Signal Is in the Resale Saleroom with New Highs The two forces that drove last week's luxury selloff both eased, the US and Iran stepped back and the AI trade roared back, and the broad market rallied nearly 2 percent. Yet the luxury mega-caps slipped. Luxury was never an AI trade, so neither last week's...

June 26: Five Days, One Lesson: the Selloff Was Macro, Not Demand; the Watch Retailers Turn; Pandora's Standout Run; the AI Rout May Be Ending This was the week our central thesis got stress-tested, and it held: the luxury equities went on a violent round trip, sold off hard then clawed most of it back, while the resale market that actually measures demand never moved from its highs. ALT/FNDATA -...

June 25: European Luxury Rises as Tech Falls a Fourth Day; Watches of Switzerland Snaps a 3-Day Slide; the Resale Anchor Holds Last night we asked whether the luxury bounce would broaden to the listed watch retailers and hold. Tonight: it did. For a second straight session, European luxury rose even as the broad market fell again, and the watch retailers, down three days running, finally turned. T...

June 24: The Luxury De-Rate Finds a Floor; Richemont +4% and Pandora +6% as Tech Routs Again; Watch Retailers the Lone Holdout After two days of falling with the macro, the luxury equities decoupled and rallied, even as the tech selloff deepened and gold and oil cratered. The first sign the de-rating is finding a floor, which fits what our resale data has said all along: the selling was about rate...

June 23: Watch and Jewelry Retailers Sink on a Fed-Hike Scare; the Resale Market Holds at Its Highs; Tapestry +5% as Capri −6% Today's signal: the listed watch and jewelry retailers were among the hardest hit in a broad, macro-driven selloff, yet the resale market for the very same goods sits at its cycle highs.

June 22: European Luxury Sells Off; Hermès Falls 6% and LVMH 3.6%; Auction Demand Holds at the Highs Today's signal: a sharp divergence. The broad US market rallied on progress in the US and Iran peace talks, but the listed luxury names fell hard, with Hermès down almost 6 percent and LVMH off more than 3 percent. The driver was macro, a dollar at a one-year high and higher yields, not demand. Und...

June 19: This Week's Signal — Luxury Equities De-Rate on Rates While Auction Demand Holds at the Highs Listed luxury repriced lower this week on macro, while the secondary market underneath those brands is still printing cycle-high demand. The stocks moved on discount rates, not on demand. The gap between the two is the read. ALT/FNDATA - Book a Data Sandbox demo: https://altfndata.com/go/cp-26061...

June 18: Stocks Rebound but Gold and Silver Get Routed; Luxury Bounces Back; a $36M Pearl on Rarity vs the Spot Price A two-sided day as stocks rebounded and luxury shares bounced back on both continents, but the same Fed signal of higher-for-longer rates that lifted the dollar and bond yields drove precious metals sharply lower, with gold and silver both falling hard.

June 17: Luxury Stocks Fall Worldwide as the Rally Pauses; Gold Breaks Its Record Streak; the Auction Market Holds Firm After a run of records, luxury stocks fell on both sides of the Atlantic, the Dow and S&P slipped, and even gold retreated all ahead of the Fed's first decision under Kevin Warsh. The one market that didn't flinch: the auction room. ALT/FNDATA - Book a Data Sandbox demo: http...

June 16: US Luxury Stocks Fall While Europe Climbs; Gold Sets Another Record; Watch Auctions Boom and Watch Stocks Stall European luxury rose while every US-listed luxury name fell, and the Dow set a record even as the S&P 500 slipped. Underneath it, the same hard-asset story: gold at another high, and a watch-auction market that keeps setting records even as the listed watchmakers stall. ALT/...

June 15: Watch Auctions Set Records but Watch Stocks Fall; Gold Hits a New High as Luxury Fades; Ferrari Up 4% A US–Iran peace deal sent markets rallying, but luxury stocks gave back most of their gains by the close. The real standout was gold, which pushed to a new high — part of the same flight to hard assets that produced a record-breaking weekend in the watch salerooms. ALT/FNDATA - Book a Dat...

June 12: European Luxury Surges on the Iran Deal; Gold and Silver Rally; US Names Pull Back European luxury surged on hopes of a US–Iran peace deal, gold and silver rallied hard, Rolex raised its prices again, and the US-listed names pulled back, capping a whipsaw week.
