Jul 16, 2012

(Bloomberg) - Prices of the most-traded wines and Chinese stocks have moved mostly in tandem the past year, a path that has left investors worse off than those who bet on gold or U.S. equities. The CHART OF THE DAY compares the Liv-ex 100 Fine Wine Index, compiled monthly, with daily moves of gold, the Shanghai Composite Index and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index normalized from April 18, 2011, when the Chinese stock measure reached its high for the year. Gold and the U.S. benchmark index rose 5 percent and 2 percent through July 12, respectively, compared with losses of 29 percent for China stocks in the period and 26 percent for wine through June, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
