CNBC Television reports that Gucci sales fell 6% in the third quarter, with China remaining a headwind and North American sales also declining. Gucci accounts for roughly half of Kering’s profit, according to the transcript. A correspondent describes Kering as the morning’s worst performer on an unclearly transcribed index and suggests consumers may be favouring smaller luxuries following aggressive luxury price increases. She also cites difficult Chinese conditions discussed by other luxury companies. No trade proposal, earlier-trade update or explicit forecast horizon is supplied.
