Mark Cohen: 我认为企业应该向顾客解释价格上涨是由关税导致的。如果顾客发现商品价格突然上涨,他们理应得到一个解释。 Nitin Jan: 企业担心解释价格上涨的原因可能会引起负面反应,因为零售商过去曾因采取政治立场而受到强烈反弹。因此,企业在解释价格上涨的原因时,需要谨慎权衡利弊。 Arun Sundaram: 一些企业别无选择,只能涨价;而大型零售商则试图避免涨价,例如转移供应来源、与不同的供应商合作或提前采购库存以降低成本。 Nick Marsh: 上个月中国出口激增,部分原因是制造商赶在关税生效前发货,这显示出关税对中国经济的负面影响。美国对华征收巨额关税(145%),对中国经济造成损害,双方目前尚未就贸易战进行谈判。 Ryan Sweet: 关税及其不确定性导致美国经济衰退的可能性增加。小型企业尤其对关税表示担忧,一些企业甚至对特朗普政府提起诉讼。 Jay Bryson: 消费者为了避免关税影响,提前购买商品,导致经济数据暂时良好。但未来仍需关注失业救济申请数据,以判断关税是否导致经济衰退。 Jody Levine: 许多进口商提前大量进口商品,导致目前库存充足,可以推迟补货。关税实施与其实际经济影响之间存在滞后性。 David Bieri: 全球经济增长预期下降,美国经济增长也预计会萎缩,经济“软着陆”的可能性在短期内不存在。目前很难预测未来经济走势,因为特朗普政府的经济政策带来了巨大的不确定性。但美国经济具有韧性,能够承受强烈的冲击。
