Luxury Stocks Hit By The Trade War

Reuters reports that an escalating trade war between the United States and China could abruptly end a glittering stock market run for luxury goods firms. Some investors are already put off by lofty valuations in a sector powered by shoppers in the two countries.
From pricey handbags to designer shoes, booming sales at the European companies that dominate the industry like Louis Vuitton owner and Gucci parent Kering have made them investor favorites. Their shares are still near record highs.
