作者 | 谭保罗 编辑 | 江江 值班编辑| 宝珠 视觉 | 顾芗 2025年以来,来自特朗普政府的"政策冲击波",给国际金融市场带来了前所未有的影响。有人认为,美 元国际货币的地位将受到挑战,黄金、比特币等替代品,将对美元形成越来越强的替代效应。 数据似乎也在佐证这一点。拉长时间线,从2023年初到2025年5月,黄金已从刚刚超过1800美元每盎司 涨到了3300美元以上,涨幅超过80%。比特币也重拾涨势,但它远远没有得到黄金那样的全球认可度, 并非真正的法定货币,加上投机属性过重,因此不予讨论。 实际上,除了黄金等替代品之外,另一种创立之初便有挑战美元雄心的替代品,同样值得关注。它就是 欧元。 这个国家,果断放弃货币主权 差不多和黄金这一轮涨价的时间通道(始于2023年至今)重合,欧元区发生了两件大事。 一是欧元区版图再次扩张。2023年,克罗地亚正式加入欧元区,全国以欧元为法定货币,成为第20个采 用欧元货币的国家。克罗地亚不到400万人口,其加入就欧元区的体量而言,无太大影响。但作为一个 相对欠发达的国家,能加入欧元区,无疑说明了欧元区主导大国如德国、法国和意大利等,推动欧 元"做大做强"的决心愈发坚 ...

Group 2: Consumer Behavior - Consumers are increasingly opting for lower-priced alternatives, with many finding similar styles for as low as 30 yuan, which diminishes the perceived value of Crocs [20][24]. - The trend of "ugly can be beautiful" has contributed to the popularity of Crocs, but the brand's identity is not strongly associated with a lifestyle or identity among Chinese consumers [11][30]. - The seasonal nature of Crocs as a summer product limits its market potential in regions with colder climates, affecting overall sales [32][36]. Group 3: Competitive Landscape - The market is seeing a rise in various brands offering similar "croc" styles, including collaborations and lower-priced options from brands like Li Ning and Skechers [20][21]. - The competition is intensified by the emergence of online platforms where consumers can find cheaper alternatives, leading to a shift in consumer purchasing behavior [21][24]. - Crocs' management acknowledges the impact of trade policy changes on competition, which may further challenge its market position [27]. Group 4: Brand Identity and Future Outlook - Crocs struggles to establish a unique brand identity that resonates with consumers, as many do not feel a psychological burden when purchasing counterfeit versions [29]. - The brand's attempts to diversify its product line, such as introducing winter styles, have not significantly changed consumer perception of it as a summer-only product [32][36]. - To achieve explosive growth again, Crocs may need to wait for the next trend to emerge, as its current market position is constrained by cultural and seasonal factors [37].
