After remaining relatively steady during the first nine months of the year despite a climate of substantial uncertainty, markets slumped during the third quarter to end the year in a downturn. The trade war between the United States and China, the political and economic environment in Italy and the difficult negotiations between the European Union and the United Kingdom surrounding Brexit weighed on performance in the main indices. The end of the year also saw the publication of less favorable indicators, fueling investor fears of a slowdown in global economic growth. Paradoxically, the changes to monetary policy in Europe and the United States, which had been highly anticipated by investors, ended up having a limited impact on markets. Against this backdrop, the CAC 40 and Euro Stoxx 50 indices finished 2018 down 11% and 14%, respectively. The LVMH closing share price ended the year up 5%, at 258.20, after having reached a new record high during the year. LVMH s market capitalization was 130 billion as of December 31, making it the largest company on the Paris stock exchange.
