【环球网财经综合报道】随着"关税""不确定性""衰退"等词在一季度财报电话会议中高频出现，本周将公布财报的一批美 国零售企业，将进一步揭示关税背景变化对经济的影响。 此前，中美经贸高层会谈在瑞士日内瓦取得重要成果，缓解了外界对特朗普关税致经济衰退的担忧。然而，特朗普与沃尔 玛在涨价问题上交锋后，零售商处境更受关注。 消费者支出作为美国经济活动重要晴雨表，出现放缓迹象。最新数据显示，因关税担忧提前购买的提振作用减弱，美国4月 零售销售增长大幅放缓至0.1%，远低于3月1.7%的两年最快涨幅。华尔街认为，贸易战平息前，消费者支出或持续不稳， 增加经济滞涨甚至衰退风险。4月支出放缓表明，美国家庭面对关税影响价格与经济时态度谨慎。券商Raymond James首席 经济学家阿尔曼称，消费者愈发挑剔，谨慎选择消费与削减开支。 行业统计显示，美国关税仍高于数十年水平，更贵的进口价格或使买家却步。经纪商Global X投资策略主管Scott Helfstein 表示，消费者仍在消费，但难比去年盛况。密歇根大学最新调查显示，美国消费者信心指数连续第五个月下跌，从上月 52.2降至50.8。分项指标显示，因担心收入下降，个人财 ...

特朗普政府自今年1月以来，向全球挥舞"关税大棒"。在亚洲地区，日本和韩国是受到"特朗普衰退"影响最严重的两个国家，这表明特朗普政府发起的关税 战对美国的传统盟友造成了严重伤害。 ▲特朗普 当地时间5月19日，日本媒体刊登评论文章指出，特朗普"1.0时期"就高举关税大棒，让全球贸易遭受严重冲击，这一趋势在特朗普"2.0时期"变本加厉。从 2025年第一季度的经济数据看，日本GDP同比萎缩了0.7%，韩国GDP也环比下降0.2%。严格来说，这段时间世界各国还未遭遇特朗普政府关税政策的最严 重冲击，因为今年4月2日白宫宣布加征关税方案时第一季度已经结束。但从另一个角度讲，当时仅是从白宫传出的混乱的政策信号，在3月份已经让亚洲一 些地区的经济信心受到打击。 对于日本来说，25%的汽车出口税和24%的对等关税对其优势产业造成了显著冲击，日本经济在二季度后将面临巨大下行压力，这也会影响投资者对日本经 济前景的信心。据环球网报道，瑞银经济学家发表报告称："关税和不确定性冲击可能导致日本出口暴跌，消费者信心将进一步下降，日本GDP增长自第二 季度起可能出现彻底的疲软。" 目前，日本自民党距离参议院选举还有约两个月时间，随着首 ...

本文来自 虎说天下 如今，美国的 "关税战休战期" 悄然过半，然而，这场关税风暴给美国经济带来的负面影响却如影随形，几 天后，一系列关键经济数据的出炉或将让特朗 普直面其关税政策带来的 "残酷现实"。 特别是在美国国内，商业活动和信心调查等 "软数据" 已清晰表明，消费者和企业的信心正急剧恶化。这对誓言通过发动关税战来 "让美国再次伟大" 的特 朗普而言，不啻于一记沉重的打击。消费者作为经济增长的重要驱动力，其信心的下降意味着消费支出可能减少，而企业信心的缺失则会抑制投资和扩 张，两者共同作用，将严重拖累美国经济的前行步伐。 与此同时，法国、德国和欧元区的 5 月采购经理人数据以及德国商业景气指数也将受到密切关注。这些数据将帮助人们评估关税对欧洲经济的影响，而欧 洲作为美国的重要贸易伙伴，其经济状况的变化也将反过来对美国经济产生连锁反应。全球商业关系在特朗普的关税政策下依然动荡不安，仅仅是贸易攻 势的预期，就已对企业造成了严重的扭曲。许多企业不得不重新评估供应链布局，增加了运营成本和不确定性。 面对不断升温的通胀压力和低迷的消费者信心，美联储在 2025 年的货币政策抉择陷入两难。摩根士丹利在报告中指出，尽管 ...
