LVMH posted a 10% rise in fourth-quarter sales on Thursday, driven by resilient demand - including from Chinese buyers - for its high-end fashion over the end-of-year trading period.

The results offered reassurance to investors of the luxury industry's resilience in the face of economic headwinds and slowing demand after a long, post-pandemic splurge.

LVMH was top gainer on the euro-zone blue-chip STOXX50E index.
