INTRO

Good evening. It's Tuesday, June the ninth. I'm Sharon, and

this is Closing Price from ALT/FNDATA.

Tonight: European luxury closed higher, the watch retailers

closed lower, and Signet and Ferrari both gained — ahead of five

watch auctions this week.

LUXURY EQUITIES — THE CLOSE

The major European luxury names closed higher today.

LVMH, ticker MC on Euronext Paris, closed at 492 euros, up about

two percent from Monday's 482. Kering, ticker KER, closed at 255

euros, up about two and a half percent. Hermes, ticker RMS,

closed at 1,665 euros, up about one and a third percent. In

Zurich, Richemont, ticker CFR, closed at 167 Swiss francs and

75, up about one and three-quarters percent.

THE TAPE TODAY

Bloomberg reports Wall Street rotated out of large technology

stocks and into firms tied to improving growth. Oil fell,

Treasuries held their gains, and gold slipped, trading near

4,280 dollars an ounce. A Reuters poll of economists sees the

Federal Reserve holding rates this year, with rate-cut

expectations fading as war-driven inflation persists.

WATCH RETAIL

The watch retailers closed lower. Watches of Switzerland, ticker

WOSG in London, closed at 694 pence, down about two and a quarter

percent — the day's weakest name on our board. Swatch, ticker UHR

in Zurich, closed at 201 francs, down about half a percent.

Several brands launched new watches this morning. From the listed

groups, Swatch's Blancpain introduced the Fifty Fathoms Tech, and

LVMH's Hublot unveiled a collaboration built around the Antikythera

mechanism. Independent brands were active too, with new pieces from

Chronoswiss, Yema, Favre Leuba, and the Glashütte-based DUG.

SIGNET

Signet, ticker SIG — parent of Kay, Zales, and Jared — closed at

86 dollars and 75, up about two and a half percent. The move

follows Monday's announcement of a 50-million-dollar accelerated

share repurchase.

JEWELLERY LEADERSHIP

Chanel has named Marie-Laure Cerede to lead its jewellery design.

Cerede previously led the studios of Cartier and Harry Winston,

across jewellery and watchmaking. Chanel is privately held;

Cartier is owned by Richemont, ticker CFR.

FERRARI

Ferrari, ticker RACE, closed at 357 dollars, up about one and

three-quarters percent. Bonhams sells about 100 cars from the

National Automobile Museum in Reno this Saturday.

AUCTION DATA

Sell-through over the last seven days at the vendor Gimau: zero

percent — zero of thirty-five lots. That is one vendor over one

week. No individual lots crossed our notable-lot threshold today.

WEEK AHEAD

Sotheby's Magnificent Jewels in New York today. Christie's

Important Watches tomorrow. Bonhams Watches in London on the

eleventh. Sotheby's Gem Drop and Christie's Paris Hermes handbag

sale on the twelfth. Bonhams National Automobile Museum in Reno

and the Phillips New York Watch Auction, both on the thirteenth.

Sotheby's Important Watches on the fifteenth — five watch sales

across four houses this week.
