特朗普挑起贸易争端,苹果排名滑落、利润受损、消费信心受挫
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-05-25 06:42
Core Viewpoint - Apple has fallen from its long-standing position as the market leader to third place, significantly impacted by the trade policies initiated by Trump [1]. Trade Dispute Impact - The trade disputes initiated by Trump have severely affected Apple, leading to increased production costs due to tariffs on components sourced from China, which directly compresses profit margins and affects market performance [2]. - The instability in the global supply chain caused by trade tensions disrupts Apple's production plans, resulting in product supply interruptions and a failure to meet market demand, prompting consumers to turn to other brands [2]. Consumer Confidence Erosion - The unpredictability of Trump's policies has created a climate of uncertainty, making consumers more cautious about purchasing high-priced Apple products, especially during periods of heightened trade tensions [3]. - Nationalistic sentiments have led some consumers to prefer domestic brands, such as Huawei, over Apple, contributing to a decline in Apple's market share in China [3]. Rise of Competitors - As Apple faces challenges due to Trump's policies, competitors have seized the opportunity to grow, with domestic high-end brands increasing R&D investments and improving product quality [4]. - Brands like Huawei and Xiaomi have gained consumer favor through innovative products and competitive pricing, further eroding Apple's market share [4][6]. Strategic Challenges - Trump's policies have hindered Apple's global strategic initiatives, including technology collaborations that are essential for innovation, as isolation can lead to a lack of innovation capabilities [7]. - The trade disputes have also complicated Apple's efforts to expand into emerging markets, making it difficult to tap into new growth opportunities [8]. Brand Image Damage - Apple's brand image has suffered due to its association with U.S. government policies, leading to a decline in consumer goodwill and perceptions of the brand's independence and risk management capabilities [8]. - Actions perceived as aligning with U.S. policies have sparked negative sentiments among consumers in markets like China, further diminishing Apple's global brand appeal [8].

吞下关税还是转嫁成本 “沃尔玛们”两难
Bei Jing Shang Bao· 2025-05-19 14:34
各执一词 美国财政部长贝森特当地时间18日承认,受到政府关税政策影响,美国零售巨头沃尔玛可能会提高价格。他也承 认一部分关税最终会落到消费者头上,使其遭受经济上的痛苦。 在沃尔玛预告要因关税提高商品价格后,美国总统特朗普发文,抨击沃尔玛将商品涨价归咎于关税,称该公司应 该承担美国关税政策所带来的额外成本。沃尔玛公司此前表示,受美国关税政策影响,其将上调部分商品在美售 价。特朗普则认为,沃尔玛去年利润丰厚,理应自行承担关税成本。沃尔玛在美国拥有海量门店,且客户覆盖不 同年龄、收入和地区的人群,经常被视为衡量美国消费健康状况的"晴雨表"。沃尔玛的表态,表明美国关税政策 的影响正在逐渐向经济渗透。 环境中的不确定性,导致短期预测变得极为困难。"沃尔玛表示。 美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)称,面对关税冲击,一些公司提高了全部商品的价格,另一些公司则直接下架了可 能会引发价格冲击的产品。目前,美国玩具制造商美泰公司、工具制造商史丹利百得公司以及消费品巨头宝洁公 司等已宣布涨价或计划涨价。此外,福特汽车近期刚刚宣布将提高旗下三款畅销车型的价格。法国奢侈品牌爱马 仕此前也表示,将上调美国市场的价格。 美国泰尔西咨询集团此前发 ...
沃尔玛宣布涨价,特朗普:不许涨!
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-05-19 07:39
美国零售巨头沃尔玛公司高管15日表示,受美国政府关税政策影响,该公司将于本月晚些时候开始上调 部分商品在美售价。当地时间17日,美国总统特朗普发文,抨击美国零售巨头沃尔玛公司将商品涨价归 咎于关税,称该公司应该承担美国关税政策所带来的额外成本。 美国泰尔西咨询集团此前发布的行业报告显示,自4月16日至4月30日,在美国销售的部分芭比娃娃价格 上涨了43%,而美国惠而浦公司的部分洗衣机价格在此期间也上涨了80美元左右。报告还提到,目前价 格尚未受到关税影响的部分商品,未来很快也会面临涨价,"零售商和制造商一致认为,更高的成本将 转嫁给消费者"。 关税引发的通胀担忧严重打击了民众的消费信心。美国16日公布最新的消费者信心指数,创下有记录以 来的倒数第二低值。同一天,国际信用评级机构穆迪宣布将美国主权信用评级从最高的Aaa下调至 Aa1,标志着三大国际评级机构全部将美国主权信用评级降至3A级以下。 沃尔玛首席财务官约翰·雷尼当天接受美国媒体采访时说,沃尔玛的定位是"天天低价",但关税上调幅 度超过任何零售商可以吸收的水平。美国消费者很可能从5月末开始看到商品涨价。 据悉,沃尔玛并非率先宣布涨价的公司,许多美国公司都 ...

恐怖数据悬念升级!黄金市场面临方向性抉择
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-05-15 12:05
周四(5月15日)亚市早盘,市场屏息以待即将于20:30公布的美国4月零售销售数据(俗称"恐怖数据")。当前市场预期该数据月率仅增长0.3%,但多位经 济学家警告,受关税政策冲击、消费信心下滑及通胀黏性影响,实际数据可能不及预期,进而引发金融市场剧烈波动。 一、数据背景:关税冲击与消费疲软的双重阴影 关税政策的滞后效应显现 特朗普政府自3月起对进口商品加征的"对等关税"已逐步传导至终端消费市场。美国商务部数据显示,4月进口商品价格指数同比上涨3.2%,其中汽车、电子 产品等关税敏感品类涨幅超5%。尽管中美关税协议落地暂缓了部分压力,但美国对欧盟、日韩等贸易伙伴的关税谈判仍存变数,企业普遍推迟涨价以观望 政策走向,导致4月零售销售数据可能因需求抑制而表现疲软。 消费信心与支出能力双降 若数据疲软,美股科技股可能面临获利回吐压力,资金或从股市回流黄金等避险资产。全球最大黄金ETF(SPDR)持仓量已连续三日减少,但若数据爆 冷,可能触发空头回补,单日增仓或超10吨。 美联储4月消费者信心指数跌至52.2,为2023年11月以来最低水平,反映出高利率环境与债务压力对居民消费意愿的压制。此外,4月非农就业新增17.5 ...
关税降了,信心没了:美国人还是不敢花钱
Hua Er Jie Jian Wen· 2025-05-12 13:01
Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that despite the reduction of tariffs, the damage to the U.S. retail industry has already occurred, and both retailers and consumers will continue to face challenges in regaining confidence [1] - The U.S. government has canceled 91% of the tariffs imposed on Chinese goods, while China has reciprocated with a similar reduction, indicating significant progress in U.S.-China trade talks [1] - Even with tariff reductions, U.S. consumers will still experience price inflation on non-food imported goods, and tariffs on other manufacturing countries like Vietnam remain in place, suggesting that the trade war's escalation may have been avoided, but consumer impacts persist [1] Group 2 - The agreement is expected to encourage retailers to restart paused orders, with signs of trade recovery already emerging, which may reduce stock shortages during the holiday season [2] - Supply chain disruptions will take time to resolve, as evidenced by the example of toys that should have been produced earlier but may not arrive in time for the holiday season, leading to potential inventory issues for retailers [2] - Past experiences, such as the delays in receiving seasonal clothing, highlight the risk of retailers receiving unwanted inventory, which could force them to discount products and test their pricing strategies [2] Group 3 - Consumers have been purchasing goods in anticipation of price increases, particularly in categories like automobiles, but this behavior may lead to reduced spending in other areas due to budget constraints [3] - Economic uncertainty is causing consumers to cut back on spending, with even affluent consumers feeling the pressure from inflation and rising interest rates, impacting their purchasing decisions [3] - The demand for luxury goods has weakened, as indicated by a decline in same-store sales for companies like Sweetgreen Inc., suggesting that consumer confidence is fragile and recovery may take time [3]
英国零售业担忧特朗普关税影响导致商业街客流下滑
Shang Wu Bu Wang Zhan· 2025-05-08 16:34
就业市场同样承压,招聘机构调查显示企业正搁置投资计划并缩减招聘规模。毕马威会计师事务所 与招聘和就业联合会(REC)联合调查显示,3月招聘活动持续萎缩,雇主普遍提及"经济不确定性、预 算紧缩及客户活动减少"等因素。REC称:"固定岗位招聘量已连续30个月下降,缩减速度与2月基本持 平。" 毕马威高级合伙人乔恩·霍尔特指出:"当前全球不确定性达到峰值,企业既要应对市场波动,又要 消化用工成本上升。最新数据印证经济现实持续拖累劳动力市场。" (原标题:英国零售业担忧特朗普关税影响导致商业街客流下滑) 《卫报》4月11日消息,最新数据显示,英国商业街3月客流量同比下降5%,延续了2月的颓势。零 售商警告称,若特朗普关税战引发的经济阴云打击消费者信心,情况可能进一步恶化。 自1月促销季短暂复苏后,通胀回升与家庭收入压力持续影响消费。郊区购物中心受创最重,客流 量下降5.8%,传统商业街和零售园区客流量分别减少4%和1.2%,销售额同步下滑。 英国零售商协会指出,美国对进口商品加征关税的直接影响尚难量化,但可能抑制消费者购买意 愿,尤其是高价商品。该机构首席执行官海伦·狄金森表示:"关税引发的全球不确定性及潜在经济放 ...

取消仅退款,有助于提振消费吗?
Hu Xiu· 2025-04-28 03:14
Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the significant shift in China's e-commerce landscape, particularly the potential cancellation of the "return-only refund" policy, which has been a crucial consumer protection mechanism [2][3][4]. Group 1: E-commerce Policy Changes - Major e-commerce platforms such as Pinduoduo, Taobao, Douyin, Kuaishou, and JD.com are set to eliminate the "return-only refund" option, leaving refund decisions to individual merchants [3][4]. - The absence of public announcements from these platforms regarding the cancellation of the policy suggests a covert implementation of this change [4]. Group 2: Consumer Complaints and Issues - In 2024, consumer complaint organizations in China received 1.76 million complaints, a 32.62% increase from the previous year, with after-sales service issues accounting for 29.67% of complaints [6][7]. - Issues related to product quality and false advertising also contribute significantly to consumer grievances, indicating a persistent problem in the e-commerce sector [6][8].

Group 5: Future of Consumer Protection - The article questions the effectiveness of current consumer protection mechanisms in China, suggesting that without the "return-only refund" policy, consumers may struggle to assert their rights [29][30]. - The ongoing evolution of consumer rights in China reflects a broader struggle between consumer protection and merchant interests, with potential implications for overall market trust and consumer spending [31][33].
