Burberry PLC (ISIN GB0031743007) traded between 1,039.50p and 1,057.00p in the session, leaving the close near the lower end of the range. Reuters said HSBC sees a tougher second half for European luxury and pointed to limited visibility for Burberry after the downgrade. Boursorama carried the Reuters report on the downgrade and the cautious second-half view.
The FTSE 100 finished at 10,670.06, down 1.31 percent, while Burberry underperformed the index by about 1.79 percentage points. Trading volume was 2.8 million shares.
Today before the bell
HSBC's downgrade remains the main fresh item for Burberry today, and the note is the clearest scheduled or company-specific market trigger in the current session. The broader London market is also set to absorb further luxury-sector read-throughs after the weak session in European equities.
