Among the dozens of sponsors of this summer’s Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, one will be by far the most visible and influential: LVMH, the French luxury goods conglomerate. The company has invested 150 million euros ($163 million) in the 2024 Olympic Games, a gamble for a brand that has long marketed its goods to the upper echelons of society. Louis Vuitton created the trunk that carries the Olympic torch and the medal trays for the victory ceremonies. Mr. Arnault is the chairman of Loro Piana and the oldest son of Bernard Arnault, the chairman and chief executive of LVMH. “We decided that if we were going to do it, it was going to be new.

In a first, Anheuser-Bush InBev is the beer sponsor for the Olympic games with a non-alcoholic brew taking the torch. “If you think about the Olympics … it’s about travel, dining, culture, excitement, community.”All of those things meet every four years at the Olympics, which brings together millions of fans and thousands of athletes. Paris, a city known for its opulence, plays host this year to the first post-Covid games without any crowd restrictions for the first time in six years. (Both the summer games in Tokyo 2021 and 2022 winter games in Beijing either barred or limited spectators or visitors.) Even the most recent summer games, held in 2021 Tokyo and that barred spectators at the events, registered a 20% increase.

CNN —A prominent North Korea expert and former CIA analyst has been indicted by a New York grand jury on charges of secretly working for the South Korean government in exchange for designer goods, Michelin star meals and $37,000 for a fund that she controlled. The indictment alleges Terry acted as a “valuable source” of information for the South Korean government. She has authored reports for both American and South Korean news outlets. South Korea is a key US ally in the Asia-Pacific, though Terry’s indictment is not the first case of alleged collusion to test the two countries’ friendship. Internal Pentagon documents leaked last year described, in remarkable detail, private conversations between two senior South Korean national security officials, whom the US had allegedly wiretapped.

☆ French stocks ETF looks poised to resume uptrend following election, according to the charts
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-08 | by ( Katie Stockton | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Despite the pullback, a primary uptrend remains in place for the CAC 40, in addition to the related iShares MSCI France ETF (EWQ) . Both proxies for French stocks appear to be finding their footing, which suggests that the market is welcoming the latest news regarding the election. Once the final outcome is determined, it would be natural for investors to respond favorably to the removal of uncertainty, particularly given the oversold status of French stocks. This suggests a counter-trend phase of outperformance is possible for French stocks versus U.S. stocks. Recent stabilization in many French stocks shows a positive reaction to widespread intermediate-term oversold conditions, which we gauge using the weekly stochastic oscillator.

CNN —Protesters in Barcelona have sprayed visitors with water as part of a demonstration against mass tourism. Demonstrators marching through areas popular with tourists on Saturday chanted “tourists go home” and squirted them with water pistols, while others carried signs with slogans including “Barcelona is not for sale.”According to Barcelona's City Council, some 2,800 people demonstrated against mass tourism in the center of Barcelona on Saturday. Josep Lago/AFP/Getty ImagesAccording to official figures, almost 26 million visitors made an overnight stay in the Barcelona region in 2023, spending €12.75 billion ($13.8 billion). Protesters squirt water pistols during Saturday's protest. In April, locals in the Canary Islands mobilized to protest against excessive tourism, blaming visitors for pricing them out of their homes and causing environmental damage.

In this article RACE-IT Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNTwatch nowIn the world of luxury, Hermès is arguably the gold standard. Analysts predict Hermès could surpass Louis Vuitton in revenue within the next three years as the world's largest luxury brand. There is one luxury company, however, that has raced past Hermès when it comes to growth and brand cache – Ferrari. To better understand what makes Ferrari a luxury brand, CNBC traveled to Ferrari headquarters in Maranello, Italy, to interview the company's CEO, Benedetto Vigna. "A luxury company is a company that is using technology, innovation, storytelling, heritage, everything, with the ultimate goal to feed that emotional side that we all have."

In a deal that shows just how hard things are getting in the luxury retail space, Saks Fifth Avenue's parent is purchasing rival department store company Neiman Marcus for $2.65 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported. Amazon — which has long tried to boost its luxury offerings as part of its "everything store" concept — and Salesforce are getting in on it, too, with both taking minority stakes in the new company, Saks Global. As e-commerce and the power of luxury conglomerates like LVMH and Kering have grown, department stores are facing diminishing returns. If not, rather than schlep back to the department store, why not go straight to the source, the Loewe boutique? It also makes the new company's leader — Marc Metrick, who runs Saks' e-commerce business — a natural choice.

London CNN —French luxury conglomerate LVMH has added a tiny Parisian bistro to its sprawling empire of designer fashion brands, jewelry makers and hotels. A dish served at Chez l'Ami Louis restaurant in Paris. Her lifestyle company Goop describes Chez L’ami Louis on its website as “one of the best, most venerable bistros in Paris.”“It is small and wood-paneled, with an ancient oven and a sick wine list,” Goop gushed. In 2019, the company acquired Belmond, which owns hotels and organizes luxury rail and river cruises, in a $3.2 billion deal. Earlier this month, LVMH announced “a strategic investment” in the Orient Express, a brand offering luxury train travel owned by French hospitality firm Accor.
