News:
Tuesday's session is marked by a powerful rebound in the quotations of all companies strongly linked to the Chinese market. First of all, fashion, which is largely dependent on the demand of Chinese consumers, is doing well. The largest increases currently belong to those companies that, in percentage terms, most depend on this region for their sales. We are talking primarily about Hermes (RMS.FR), which is gaining 4.6%, and Richemont (CFR.CH), which is adding 4.5%.
