由于与人工智能(AI)相关的芯片需求抵消了对美国汽车出口的疲软，日本的出口创下三年来最快增幅。 日本财务省周三报告称，1月整体出口价值同比增长了16.8%，这是自2022年11月以来的最大增幅，超 出了分析师预期的13%。其中，半导体和其他电子元件的整体出口增长了近40%。 农林中金研究所首席经济学家Takeshi Minami表示："某些与半导体相关的出货量表现强劲，可能是受人 工智能需求上升的推动。数据确认了美国关税影响较小，因为日元疲软有助于日本出口商。" 按地区划分，对中国的出口增长了32%，对欧盟的出口增长了29.6%，而对美国的出口下降了5%。不 过，对中国的出口数据受到春节因素的扭曲，因为去年春节恰逢1月。 Takeshi Minami表示："一些特殊因素在起作用，包括春节前的提前出货，因此日本的出口并不像头条数 据所示的那样强劲。""但可以说，它们可能正在逐渐恢复。" 此外，对美国的汽车出口价值下降了9.9%，而出口的汽车数量仅下降了0.8%。这一差距表明，面对特 朗普关税的日本汽车制造商正继续通过降价、牺牲利润以保持在美国市场的份额。由于这一策略导致的 利润空间缩小，可能会限制这些公司在国内 ...
