Wine Market Has Another Month of Solid Growth

The Invest Into Wine Index performed very positive this month with Over 42% of wines increasing in value.

Champagne & Rhone Valley market continued the rally with an overall growth of 1.4% for the month. 

 

Despite the solid growth of wine prices, the global market is in a slow growth phase in almost every industry due to the recent pandemic. This has resulted in buyers in virtually every industry looking for deals. 

 

With stock markets at an all time high in the USA, this has created major concern for an even bigger collapse of markets if the economy is slower to recover following the pandemic. 

 

If you are heavily invested in stocks and shares, it is strongly advisable to strategise with at least 20% of your existing financial portfolio in rare wine.
With an average return of 6-10% per annum from wine, this may not give you the returns we have seen from the recent stock market rally but it will protect you against downfall in the financial markets.  While still providing you with a solid return beating inflation. 

 

Many retail investors have been piling into shares of companies trading 20 times their earnings. The markets are running on confidence which at some point in the near future will give way. Money always flows into hard assets like wine when this occurs.

Important Update When Checking Your Wine Portfolio

We have made an adjustment to the current bid prices by 2%. This is to offer the wines for sale at a more competitive price.  With the world’s economy struggling due to the global pandemic, buyers are looking to buy below market price.  This reduction of 2% will mean when you place your wine for sale it will immediately pick up the bid price at an adjustment of 2% below market. We have made this adjustment in an effort to ensure your wine is sold in a timely manner. This does not guarantee a buyer for your wine, but increases the chances. If there is no buyer on your wines for sale within 5 days then it may be necessary to lower the price by 2-5%. Contact your wine investment analyst for further advice on selling wines.

Markets and The Economy

 

Analysts suggest retail investors are in over their heads
Retail Investors now account for 20% of stock market activity, compared with 10% in 2019. With more people staying at home and struggling with unemployment. Investors are looking for ways to earn an extra income and the stock market seems like the fastest way to short term cash. But analysts suggest that these retail investors are not experienced and have access to technical trading options that are very high risk.  A young trader on Robin Hood retail trading platform, sadly took his own life as he believed he was losing $700,000 on his account. Which was in fact the opposing trade net loss on a derivative trade he was involved with.    

World economic outlook projected at -4.9% in 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a more negative impact on activity in the first half of 2020 than anticipated, and the recovery is projected to be more gradual than previously forecast. The 2021 projection is 5.4% which is 6.5% lower than pre Covid 19 projections of January 2020. 

The USA is projected at -8% GDP for 2020 with an election looming, steering the economy into positive territory will be challenging for the winning party.

 

Despite such a gloomy outlook to the economy, it has not impacted the US and Shanghai stock markets as they rally on.  Could we see markets and the economy bouncing back quicker than expected and possibly a better finish to the year? 
One thing that is a pretty good strategy, is being invested in fine and rare wines. Holding a physical asset which will hold its value in good or bad times. Look out for the latest offers, coming your way this week!
