Sabri Beneshour: 作为主持人，我介绍了美国和中国同意暂时削减关税以期达成贸易协议的背景，强调了涉及的巨大贸易额。 Jennifer Pak: 我身处上海，报道了中国商务部对中美贸易缓和的积极反应，认为这符合两国出口商和消费者的预期。然而，我也指出即使是90天的关税延缓，也难以解决企业面临的长期计划问题，因为生产和运输都需要时间。企业担心最终关税是否会与最初预算一致。数据显示，四月份中美两国的出口额均出现显著下降。 David Swartz: 我观察到汽车行业普遍存在“关税前定价”的促销活动，鼓励消费者提前购买。各行各业的公司都在警告价格上涨和库存下降。 Dan Blanchard: 我从消费者心理角度分析，指出这种促销会引发消费者的稀缺心态，促使他们提前购买。虽然短期内看似划算，但消费者往往更关注眼前的成本和节省，而忽略了长期的财务影响，可能导致预算失衡或负债。 Kristen Schwab: 总结了提前消费可能对家庭预算造成的长期影响，强调了避免过度消费的重要性。
