On thedata side, Chinese retail salesfor Jewellery were down sharply in April and May,mainly theresult of tough comps, which is why we would now expect a stronger print in June. Finally,wewill keep monitoring price increases from luxury brands, and jewellery in particular (Figure15). These have outpaced soft-luxury peers, providing a short-term tailwind on the one hand,but eroding the relative attractiveness of jewelleryfrom a value standpoint (a major driver ofrecent category strength) in the medium term.
