Yesterday’s trading activity
The sustained demand for Cristal 2014 has continued this week, with the wine among the top-traded by value and volume.
Jacques Selosse 2008 and Pétrus 2019 were among the top wines traded by value yesterday, while Clos du Marquis 2009 was the top-traded wine by volume.
Liv-ex Fine Wine 50 remains steady
Maintaining its strong performance since the 1Q 2020, the Liv-ex Fine Wine 50 has continued to outperform equity markets such as the FTSE100.
Year-to-date, the Liv-ex 50 has risen 3.0%, while the FTSE100 has declined 2.6%. The on-going challenges facing equity and bond markets were covered in our recent Q2 Report. However, the leading fine wine indices have not been immune from the wider macroeconomic climate either.
The Liv-ex 50 for example has seen its positive momentum slow. From May to June it rose just 0.3% while its monthly gains have been falling since February.
Fine wine remains far less volatile than traditional stocks and shares – the index’s volatility is currently under 0.5% but has shown signs of creeping upwards since April. Caution seems to be the byword as the summer months unfold.
This said LIVE bids rose fractionally on the previous week and currently stand at £39m. Similarly, the number of different buyers also rose week-on-week. Some, it would seem, are taking advantage of the uncertainty. The best time to buy after all, is when others are looking the other way.
