Overall, market sentiment was driven by news that the U.S. is willing to sit down with the Chinese authorities and fix their trade divergences. To minimize current political risk, it is good to focus on the relationship between Europe and China, which is characterized by the low likelihood of the occurrence of customs wars. Chinese buyers already account for more than 35% of the revenues of European prestigious brands, with the rejuvenation of the Chinese population, this percentage is likely to slightly increase. European brands that achieve high levels of sales in China continue to see positive returns in their year to date market valuations, namely Swatch (UHR SW) 5.31 percent, Louis Vuitton (MC FP) 3.23 percent, Gucci - Kering (KER FP) 2.06 percent in Prada (1913 HK) with 33.75 percent. All with positive year to date returns and seem to not be affected by the protectionist policies on the relation China and US.
