Chinese Gold Jewelers May Raise Prices to Pass Through Higher Costs -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Nov 03

0232 GMT - Chinese gold jewelers will likely raise prices to pass through cost pressures after Beijing's new tax policy, Citi analysts say in a research note, noting that China's Finance Ministry ended tax incentives on gold purchases on Saturday. The deduction rate for value-added tax are now lower for gold purchases for non-investment--falling to 6% from 13%. The change could increase gold procurement costs by 7%, the analysts note. If retail prices remain unchanged, Citi estimates 2026 net profits to be set back for gold jewelers: Laopu Gold by 15%, Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group by 26% and Luk Fook Holdings by 6%. The analysts add that it's unclear if the policy's intentions are to only discourage gold investment by increasing transaction costs or to curb gold jewelry demand as well. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
