Methodology

Daily snapshots pull each index's closing value at end-of-day, compare to the prior trading day's close, and to the close one week prior. Indexes are valued via our chained-divisor methodology — see volume-weighting methodology. Daily moves on luxury-handbag indexes reflect the bid-ask of an aggregated cross-platform sales mix, so single-day prints are noisier than weekly or monthly summaries. Read this snapshot as one observation in a longer series, not a standalone signal.
