The benefits of maintaining exposure
Liv-ex recently conducted analysis exploring the relation between the price at which trades are going through and wines’ Market Prices at the point of sale. Results showed that over the last 12 months, almost as many units traded 6% below their Market Price as 1% below it, highlighting the importance of maintaining exposure on the platform.
One member’s activity revealed that as a result of consistently placing low bids, a significant proportion of their trades occurred considerably below Market Price. Over the past two years, they have purchased more than £1 million’s worth of wine and have even been able to secure stock up to 20% below Market Price, offering further proof that there are tangible benefits to placing bids on Liv-ex.
Below are just some examples of recent trades that have all taken place below Market Price. For example, Louis Roederer Cristal 2015 last traded at £2,166 per 12×75, 4.2% below its current Market Price of £2,260 per case.
Liv-ex members can capitalise on falling prices by strategically placing bids on the exchange, enticing sellers to make competitive offers potentially leading to favourable deals.
