The Tape

  • May CPI +4.2% year-on-year — the fastest rate in three years, though it met market expectations; Wall Street fell on technology losses and Middle East tensions; oil rose after Trump's Iran strike threats

INTRO

Good evening. It's Wednesday, June 10. I'm Sharon, and this is Closing Price from ALT/FNDATA.

Tonight: gold fell nearly 4%, the luxury names were mixed, Ferrari was the weakest of them as its first electric car stumbled in China, and Frasers bid 3.1 billion dollars for Hugo Boss.

LUXURY EQUITIES — THE CLOSE

The major luxury names were mixed today. In Paris, LVMH, ticker MC on Euronext Paris, closed at 488 EUR, down about 0.9% from Tuesday's 492. Kering, ticker KER, closed at 256 EUR, up about 0.3%. Hermès, ticker RMS, closed at 1,636 EUR, down about 1.8%.

In Zurich, Richemont, ticker CFR, closed at 169 Swiss francs, up about 0.8%, and Swatch, ticker UHR, closed at 200 Swiss francs, down about 0.8%.

In London, Watches of Switzerland, ticker WOSG, closed at 701 pence, up about 1%, and Burberry, ticker BRBY, closed at 1,117 pence, up about 0.4%.

GOLD AND SILVER

The biggest move on our board was in metals. Gold closed at about 4,100 dollars an ounce, down about 3.8% from Tuesday's 4,260. Silver closed at about 64 dollars, down about 2.1%. The selloff came as US inflation data landed and as tensions in the Middle East stayed in focus.

FERRARI

In New York, Ferrari, ticker RACE, was the weakest luxury name on our board, closing at 347 dollars, down about 3.1%. Seeking Alpha reported that Ferrari's first all-electric vehicle has had a slow start in China. Two other New York names also fell: Zegna, ticker ZGN, closed at 14.40 dollars, down about 2.6%, and Signet, ticker SIG, closed at 86 dollars, down about 1%.

DEALMAKING — HUGO BOSS

In deals, Frasers Group, ticker FRAS in London, has offered to buy Hugo Boss in a deal valued at about 3.1 billion dollars. Frasers, controlled by Mike Ashley, already owns roughly 26% of the German fashion house. Frasers closed at 771 pence, up about 4%. Hugo Boss, ticker BOSS in Frankfurt, closed at about 36 EUR, up about half a percent.

THE TAPE

On the broad tape, Reuters reported that US consumer prices rose at their fastest rate in three years in May, up 4.2% from a year earlier, though the figure met market expectations. Wall Street fell, led by losses in large technology stocks, with Middle East tensions adding pressure. Oil rose after President Trump said the US would carry out further strikes on Iran.
