瑞银最新数据显示，2025年1月至5月期间，奢侈品价格平均上涨仅3%，创下自2019年以来最慢涨幅。 今年前五个月通常涵盖了全年绝大部分价格调整，因为品牌往往会在第一季度制定年度预算并完成主要 涨价动作。这意味着经历了过去几年大幅提价、靠涨价带动销售的"暴利时代"后，奢侈品行业开始踩刹 车了。 全球经济承压，高净值人群也开始"精打细算" 路易威登（LV）、香奈儿等品牌，过去几年为了"吃尽红利"，在2019至2023年间大幅提价，以抓住高 端手袋、服装和珠宝的强劲需求。 涨幅最夸张的例子包括，LV的Speedy手袋，自2019年以来价格翻倍，目前起售价为1650欧元。香奈儿 经典大号翻盖包目前售价超1.1万欧元，比2019年贵了80%以上。 由于奢侈品行业正适应比预期更长时间的低迷期，加上富人对年年涨价产生抵触情绪，今年以来，全球 顶级奢侈品牌的涨价幅度明显放缓。 贝恩咨询指出，涨价放缓反映出品牌的"明确战略转向"，从靠涨价驱动转向更注重保住销量、维持品牌 力，尤其在风险因素增多的当下。 二季度财报季开启，奢侈品行业二季度或迎来周期谷底 本周起，第二季度财报季正式拉开帷幕。然而，美国关税威胁与多重地缘冲突，打击 ...

在全球化贸易格局加速重构的背景下，美国汽车制造巨头通用汽车（GM.US）于美东时间周二盘前发 布了2025年第二季度财报。这份财报犹如一面镜子，既映照出企业在复杂宏观环境中的挣扎与适应，也 折射出传统汽车产业向电动化、本土化转型的阵痛与希望。数据显示，通用汽车二季度营收达471.22亿 美元，虽同比微降1.8%，但超市场预期；然而，调整后每股收益（2.53美元）与净利润（18.95亿美 元）的双双下滑，尤其是净利润同比暴跌35.4%，揭示了美国关税政策对企业利润的明显冲击。 分区域看，通用汽车北美业务遭遇重创，调整后息税前利润从去年同期的44亿美元骤降至24亿美元，降 幅达45.5%，利润率从10.9%萎缩至6.1%。这一表现与美国本土市场的价格战、供应链成本上升及关税 影响密切相关。相比之下，国际业务（含中国）调整后息税前利润从5000万美元增至2.04亿美元，成为 财报中为数不多的亮点。 这也进一步表明中国市场的重要性。通用汽车及其合资企业第二季度在华销量超过44.7万辆，同比增长 20%，创下2021年以来的最高季度增幅；上半年累计销量达89万辆，同比增长9.4%。这一成绩不仅抵消 了北美市场的部分亏损 ...
