优质葡萄酒 與中国
上周，我们回顾了Liv-ex Fine Wine 50指数自2012年11月最低点以来的表現。在四个月內上涨了10.8％。 另一指数自11月下旬以来也持续上升的是上海综合指数。如下图所示，在过去的12个月内，这两个指数之间有很强的相关性。自2012年上半年下跌后，两者从7月份起相对持平，直至年底开始上升。然而，当Liv-ex 50指数持续稳步攀升(上周达到9个月以來的新高)，上海综合指数却只大幅上涨至2月时的顶峰，此后便一直下滑了7％。 之前我们已经注意到中国概念股的表现与优质葡萄酒之间的相关性。然而，尽管最近上海综合指数的下降，但Liv-ex 50指数却持续攀升。 中国能否仍可操纵一级酒庄的命运呢？
