Movement Alert|CHOW TAI FOOK Falls 3.92% in Regular Trading, Gold Price Retreat Drags Down Jewelry Sector

Market Focus09-02

On September 2, CHOW TAI FOOK fell 3.92% in regular trading, trading at HK$12.29 per share, with turnover of approximately HK$84.85 million.

On the news front, international spot gold recently broke below US$4,500 per ounce, plunging over US$250 in a single week, triggering a broad selloff across the jewelry sector. Domestic branded gold jewelry prices declined sharply in tandem, with CHOW TAI FOOK's pure gold ornament list price further reduced to RMB 1,342 per gram on September 1, representing a cumulative decline of nearly 5% from the prior peak of RMB 1,410 per gram. Peers including Lao Miao Gold and Luk Fook Jewellery also collectively cut prices by RMB 6 to 8 per gram.

The violent gold price volatility has significantly dampened end-consumer confidence. Within the Specialty Stores sector, EVEREST GOLD fell 3.98%, LUK FOOK HOLD fell 1.59%, and POP MART declined 1.35%, reflecting broad-based pressure across the sector. Previously, Guotai Haitong maintained a Buy rating on CHOW TAI FOOK, citing priced gold jewelry as a driver of same-store sales growth, though near-term gold price swings continue to weigh on market sentiment.
