Shares of LVMH, the world's largest luxury goods producer, came under pressure amid the threat of high tariffs on wine and champagne, which could affect well-known brands such as Moët, Veuve Clicquot and Dom Pérignon.
Trump threatens tariffs: what lies behind the threats?
Former US President Donald Trump stated that he would impose a 200% tariff on all wine and champagne from the European Union if it does not repeal its own tariff on American whisky. This threat immediately impacted the shares of French company LVMH, which is one of the world's largest alcohol producers. Products from brands such as Moët and Veuve Clicquot face the threat of price increases, which could reduce demand for the company's products in the US.
Negative impact on LVMH: consequences for the company
For LVMH, this is not the first blow. The company previously incurred losses due to restrictions introduced by China, which was one of its major sales markets. The current threat from the US could significantly worsen the company's financial performance, as America is a key market for champagne and wine sales.
