前白宫国家经济委员会主任警告，美国关税政策的全面影响将在5月底显现，直接冲击消费品供应和价格。 据央视新闻报道， 当地时间4月27日，曾在特朗普第一个总统任期内担任白宫国家经济委员会主任的加里·科恩（Gary Cohn）表示， 美国目前关税政策的影响 将在下个月底开始在全国范围内显现， 这一预测是基于货物运输和分发所需的时间。 科恩说，收入水平及经济实力较低的人群将把100%的薪水都用于购买商品，而富人会存储更高比例的收入。 这意味着关税将对低收入美国人产生更大影响。 消费狂潮退烧，提前购买难掩后续疲软 科恩观察到，在关税威胁下，消费者出现了明显的"预加载"或"前端购买"行为。为了规避未来可能更高的价格，民众抢购汽车，推动汽车销售创下历史新高，同 时大量购入消费品、洗衣机和科技产品。这使得经济的"硬数据"在短期内看起来"相当稳固"——然而，这只是表面现象。 科恩强调， 反映未来预期的"软数据"，如消费者信心指数和各类民调，正显示出越来越多的疲软迹象。 比如作为 作为未来支出先行指标的 消费者信心，已经 亮起了红灯。 各大消费品公司的一季度财报时也印证了这一点：尽管一季度尚可，但对二季度的展望普遍悲观。从快餐连 ...
