LVMH Among the Biggest Declines in the CAC 40 in a Pressured Luxury Sector
LVMH stock ranks among the biggest declines in the CAC 40, alongside Saint-Gobain (-2.36%), Hermès (-2.25%), and Kering (-2.22%). The luxury sector is paying the price in a tense bond environment: the yield on the US 10-year Treasury has risen to 4.63%, a high since February 2025, while the Japanese 30-year JGB has hit a record around 4.20%. The sector context remains mixed. Jewelry/gold sales in China increased by 11.7% year-over-year in March 2026 according to the NBS, but total Chinese retail only gained 1.7%, and French exports of wines and spirits fell by 4.0% in value for the 2024 balance. The movement of the day extends a negative sequence for the stock, which has lost 5.23% over the week. The drop on May 11 to €455.70 had already erased the rebound that began in early May.
