林帼瑛表示，美国在八月初公布的关税水平仍然偏高，对部分商品的关税政策仍相当不明朗。这些发展 对国际贸易流向，以至美国当地通胀和经济活动的影响或会在今年稍后时间陆续浮现。此外，美国减息 步伐的不确定性也会影响本地投资气氛。香港经济往后的增长动力将在一定程度上取决于这些因素如何 演变。 林帼瑛认为，香港经济在今年余下时间可望保持增长。亚洲尤其是内地经济持续稳步增长，加上香港本 地就业收入持续增加、股票市场畅旺，以及住宅物业市场回稳，将会利好香港经济的各个环节。政府多 项提振消费、吸引投资，以及开拓市场的措施，也会为香港经济提供进一步支持。 新华财经香港8月15日电（记者林迎楠）香港特区政府15日发表《2025年半年经济报告》和2025年第二 季度的本地生产总值修订数字显示，香港第二季实质本地生产总值同比增长3.1%，全年增长预测维持 2%-3%。 署理政府经济顾问林帼瑛表示，在出口表现强劲及本地需求改善的支持下，香港经济在2025年第二季继 续稳健扩张。尽管美国贸易政策持续对全球经济及贸易带来不确定性，外部需求强韧，加上因美国暂缓 关税措施而使得部分货物抢先付运，支持香港整体货物出口在第二季同比实质增长加快至11 ...

随着美国关键通胀数据相对平稳落地，市场对美联储降息的预期再度升温。 据央视新闻报道，当地时间8月12日，美国劳工部发布的消费者价格指数显示，美国7月份通胀压力维持 6月份以来的上升势头。7月份消费者价格指数同比上涨2.7%，与6月份涨幅持平。但剔除波动较大的食 品和能源价格后，7月份核心消费者价格指数同比上涨3.1%，高于6月的2.9%，远高于美国联邦储备委 员会制定的2%目标；环比涨幅为0.3%，高于6月份的0.2%。 整体而言，关税的影响在7月份的CPI数据中没有6月那么明显，通胀没有加速上行。在CPI数据公布 后，投资者押注美联储9月降息25个基点的概率超过90%，美联储或在今年剩余的三次会议上都降息。 据央视新闻报道，8月12日，美国总统特朗普在社交平台"真实社交"上发文，要求美联储主席鲍威尔立 即降息，并指责其"总是行动太迟"。特朗普称，他正考虑允许针对鲍威尔的相关诉讼继续推进。 在经济数据和白宫压力的双重驱动下，美联储9月降息50个基点的可能性也已经浮现，接下来会"暴力降 息"吗？ 通胀意外温和 迄今为止，美国大规模征收进口关税对商品价格的传导有限。 中航证券首席经济学家董忠云对21世纪经济报道记 ...

Core Viewpoint - The impact of U.S. tariffs on domestic retail companies is becoming increasingly evident, with companies like Crocs predicting a decline in revenue due to cautious consumer spending and rising costs associated with tariffs [3][4]. Group 1: Company-Specific Impacts - Crocs anticipates a year-over-year revenue decline in Q3, contrary to analyst expectations of slight growth, attributing this to reduced consumer spending on non-essential items and concerns over price increases [3]. - The company estimates that the new costs from tariffs will reach $40 million in the second half of the year, totaling approximately $90 million for the entire year, equivalent to about 647 million RMB [3]. - Following the announcement, Crocs' stock plummeted nearly 30%, marking its largest single-day drop in 14 years [4].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the U.S. tariff policy isolates the country from globalization, leading to negative consequences primarily borne by American consumers [1][2] - The U.S. has a limited share in global trade, and if other countries unite, the effectiveness of U.S. protectionist policies will diminish [1] - The immediate consequence of tariffs in the U.S. is an increase in prices, acting as a de facto tax on consumers, with a majority of Americans perceiving tariffs as harmful due to rising living costs [1][2] Group 2 - Tariffs may temporarily protect specific industries like steel and aluminum, but they increase costs across broader supply chains, negatively impacting the overall economy [2] - The Trump administration's tariff policies are unlikely to compel companies to relocate manufacturing to the U.S. due to the current poor state of American manufacturing [2] - The ultimate impact of these policies will depend on the reaction of the American public, particularly in the context of upcoming midterm elections, which will serve as a significant test for the Trump administration [2]
