ASX-listed fashion retailers record brutal share price declines on Trump tariffs, inflation shocks

A brutal two-punch combo of Trump tariffs and inflation shocks is crushing the stock prices of major Australian fashion retailers, with luxury brand Cettire leading the dramatic slump. The company started off the year with a market capitalisation of nearly $600m, but a precipitous 81 per cent decline in its share price since January 2 value means it is now worth just $115m. Moomoo market strategist Jessica Amir warned 'serious alarm bells' were ringing about the survival of the company, which sells high-end products worldwide through its online platform. 'It's safe to say there are some serious questions about a potential receivership,' she said. In a trading update from June 12, Cettire announced just $500,000 in earnings for the financial year ending May 31, though sales revenues lifted 1.7 per cent to $693.8m. The company now has $45m left in cash, down from $79m in March. Cettire founder and CEO Dean Mintz blamed trade uncertainty around US tariff policy in part for the difficult trading environment. 'Recent results from luxury industry participants point to continued challenges in the sector, amplified by trade uncertainty surrounding US tariff policy,' he said. 'As a result, elevated promotional activity persists across the market.' While Cettire's share price is tanking, there are avenues the company could pursue to avoid any fall into administration, for example a capital raise or taking on a new debt facility. It is not the only ASX-listed apparel business to record a disturbing slump in value this year. Footwear retailer Accent Group has slumped 45 per cent, while KMD Brands, which sells the Kathmandu and Rip Curl brands, has tumbled 33 per cent. City Chic has retreated 26 per cent. Graphic Aussie Fashion Stocks - Jan 2-June 23 (2) At the start of the year, KMD was worth about $300m. Now it is worth less than $200m. Some of the retailers point to US President Donald Trump's tariff shock for creating additional challenges in their businesses. In a trading update from June 19, KMD estimated tariffs would strip about $1m in earnings from the company across the 2025 financial year. 'The (company) continues to closely monitor the fluid US tariff situation and it remains too early to estimate the impact on consumer demand in the US,' the company said. 'Given the uncertainty in the US market, agility remains the (company's) main priority heading into 2026.' In an update from May 5, City Chic has warned some 20 per cent of its revenue was generated in the US and 90 per cent of its products were sourced from China, a big target for tariffs. 'Due to the tariff situation and its potential impact on consumer demand, USA sales expectations have been reduced for FY26,' the company said. But global trade chaos is not the only pressure mounting on fashion stocks, Ms Amir cautioned. Rising oil and electricity prices are also eating away at consumer spending power. 'The things we're paying every quarter and every month are far higher than they were,' she said. 'Petrol costs are up markedly and that's because the oil price is up. 'It means you've got less money left over to buy things like a luxury designer handbag from Cettire, or that Rip Curl jumper. 'You might want to get out your needle and thread and sow up your Kathmandu. You're not exactly going to go out and buy another one.' The benchmark ASX200, which tracks the 200 largest companies on the Australian stock market, has advanced 3 per cent year-to-date.

‘Nervous': Trump strikes spook ASX

Oil prices have surged as the rest of the market wobbled on Monday morning, with the ASX 200 suffering a 'very nervous start' to the trading week. The ASX 200 fell 44.30 points or 0.52 per cent to 8,461.20 on the opening bells, as investors weighed up the risks in the Middle East. The Aussie dollar also slumped, falling from US64.94 cents to US64.48 as the tension escalates. On Saturday (Sunday AEST), US forces confirmed strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities in the latest flair up between Israel and Iran. US President Donald Trump said the three nuclear sites in Iran – Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz were 'completely obliterated' but this is yet to be independently verified. ASX falls on Iran- Israel tensions. Picture Newswire/ Gaye Gerard. Credit: News Corp Australia The armed conflict sent the price of Brent crude oil surging to above $US80 a barrel, after sitting around $US65 in the two weeks prior to the start of the most recent conflict in the region. senior financial market analyst Kyle Rodda said traders will be looking to gauge risks of energy shocks and the potential impact of the broader conflict. 'The markets are confronting a very nervous start to the week where the only thing that will matter is the fallout from the US missile strike on Iranian nuclear assets over the weekend,' Mr Rodda said. 'The first moves will be reactive, possibly kneejerk, and out of fear: a typical shoot first and ask questions later approach. 'But as the dust settles and more of the facts become known – especially the extent of the damage achieved by the US – the markets will turn to gaming out the likely course of events from here and quantifying the risks to asset prices.' Mr Rodda said there are two critical parts for the markets, being a regional war or if Iran retaliates to US strikes by cutting off the Strait of Hormuz, an important 20 mile stretch which is the primary route of exports like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the UAE, and Kuwait. 'There's already some talk of the latter from the Iranianans, with the instability in the region and risks to critical infrastructure alone enough to worry energy markets,' he said. US secretary of state Marco Rubio said closing the crucial Strait of Hormuz would be a 'suicidal' move to the Iranian regime. Mr Rubio said closing the strait would affect the US, but it would have 'a lot more impact on the rest of the world,' particularly on China. 'That would be a suicidal move on [Iran's] part, because I think the whole world would come against them if they did that,' Mr Rubio said.

‘Liberation Day' drives Aussie investor exodus

Australian retail investors are ditching the United States and moving their money to 'stable' economies on the back of US President Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day.' New retail data from investing platform eToro, who asked 10,000 retail investors across 14 countries, including 1,000 from Australia showed a sharp trend away from America. According to eToro's data the downturn in enthusiasm for US markets reflects broader economic uncertainty, with 37 per cent of Aussie investors citing the global economy as the biggest threat to their investments – the highest figure recorded since Q2 2022. Inflation follows as the second biggest concern at 17 per cent. Instead of investing abroad, local investors are increasing their exposure to Australian markets. eToro managing director Robert Francis says investors are moving away from the US. Supplied Credit: Supplied eToro managing director Robert Francis told NewsWire a combination of US policies and high valuations have retail investors sceptical of investing in the world's largest market going forward. 'People are beginning to realise the US exceptionalism isn't what it was a year or two ago with the inauguration of Trump has meant a lot of uncertainty,' he said. Rayeiris Maduro Rondon, an investor based in Sydney after relocating from Venezuela told NewsWire it is her opinion that the days of the US exceptionalism has 'paused' as she shifts to Europe and China. 'I view this more as a period of recalibration rather than decline,' she said. 'Historically, when markets trade at elevated valuations for extended periods, investors begin to see high multiples as 'the normality' and price in unrealistic growth expectations. 'That's where the U.S. stands today.' While she still holds some US investments on a 'reasonable valuation,' she said there are better opportunities abroad. 'In Europe and Asia, I'm finding businesses with higher returns on capital and strong cash flows trading at deeply discounted valuations, making them far more attractive from a risk-adjusted perspective,' she said. Rayeiris told NewsWire US exceptionalism has been paused Credit: Supplied Alert not alarmed Australian investors are split on what the current market volatility means for them. eToro's survey data showed 35 per cent of Aussies are more vigilant about their portfolio while a further 28 per cent are feeling anxious. On the flipside, 24 per cent are actually hopeful or excited about the large market swings. This optimism extends to investing strategies, with over a quarter of Aussie retail investors seeing a decline of 10 per cent or less as an opportunity to buy the dip. eToro's market analyst Josh Gilbert said investors are alert but not all of them are alarmed. 'Many see recent market dips as buying opportunities, which signals a level of confidence in long-term market resilience, he said. 'The risk of being out of the market altogether is something savvy investors are acutely aware of. 'The recent rebound in global equities since April has reinforced that view, even in uncertain times.' The ASX slipped after Liberation Day. Photo: Gaye Gerard / NewsWire Credit: News Corp Australia It has been a volatile ride for investors since Mr Trump took office for global markets initially rallying before hitting a bear market on April 2, with the announcement of Liberation Day. The wide-ranging tariffs were touted as Liberation Day for the US, with Mr Trump arguing it would level out the playing field. In a list of countries, Australia was 21st with a 10 per cent tariff on all goods imported into the US. The ASX slumped 11.4 per cent in the five days following 'Liberation Day', while the US S & P 500 fell around 12 per cent while the Dow Jones dropped 11 per cent. In both the Australia and the US shares quickly recovered after Mr Trump announced a temporary pause on his tariff policies. Mr Francis said this was a dramatic turnaround in investor confidence with the market initially rallying when Mr Trump returned to office. 'The whole market was buoyant with Trump's inauguration,' he said. 'I mean, we all thought investors, market commentators, all thought that we were going to see a continued bullish trend in the market. 'But given what we're seeing now around trade conflicts, tariffs that are being implemented, this is kind of, where is this going to go? 'All of this means that there's a level of uncertainty right now that doesn't bring confidence in investing in the US'. Some still move to safe assets Commodities have also been a favourite of Australian investors as they look to protect their positions. According to eToro's results, fears mount over a weaker US dollar and persistent inflation, Aussie retail investors are repositioning their portfolios, with nearly half of respondents having adjusted allocations or planning to. Mr Gilbert said 60 per cent of respondents said they expect gold prices to increase in the next 6–12 months, which reinforces its traditional role as an inflation hedge. 'Interestingly, we've seen Bitcoin's growing status among younger investors as a similar hedge. 'Out of local retail investors who are adjusting their portfolios based on a weaker USD, 27 per cent of Gen Z respondents said they will buy more crypto, the highest out of all generations. Indeed, 52 per cent of local Gen Z investors already hold crypto.'
