美国媒体日前报道,由于进口成本升高,亚马逊商家正在提高多种商品的价格,包括纸尿布、冰箱贴到项链等畅销产品。美国电商分析公司SmartScout数据显示,自4月9日以来,亚马逊平台上涨价的930种商品平均涨价幅度达到29%,涵盖服装、珠宝、家居用品、电子产品和玩具等多个类别。
受到美国消费者欢迎的快时尚电子商务公司希音(Shein)也宣布提高从服装到厨房用品等多类商品的售价,以应对即将生效的小额包裹关税。大部分涨价出现在上周五,美容与保健类前100件热销商品的平均价格比上周四上涨了51%,其中部分商品价格上涨一倍以上。家居用品和玩具的平均涨幅超过30%。
贸易战对美国消费者的潜在影响正在浮现。美国向重要贸易伙伴挥舞“关税大棒”,将给电商平台上的卖家造成重大影响。许多商家将总部设在中国,或者在中国进行产品采购和组装。对于卖家而言,要么提高价格,要么自行承担美国新关税带来的额外成本,越来越多的卖家将关税成本转嫁给消费者。

报道称,该交易若达成,xAI估值将突破1200亿美元。If the deal is concluded, xAI's valuation will exceed $120 billion, according to the report.

美国航司高管们称国内航班需求低于预期
Executives of U.S. Airlines Said Domestic Flight Demand is Lower than Expected
据外媒报道,本月,美国的航空公司首席执行官们向华尔街发出警告,称乘客对美国国内航班需求低于2025年初设定的高预期。According to foreign media reports, U.S. Airline CEOs this month warned Wall Street that passengers' appetite for domestic flights in the country is lower than the high expectations set in early 2025.
这意味着航空公司又一次面临着运力过剩的问题。达美航空公司、西南航空公司和联合航空公司表示,尽管他们仍然希望今年夏季旅游旺季能表现强劲,但在此之后他们将削减运力增长计划。That means airlines have too many seats on their hands — again. Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines said they will cut back their capacity growth plans after what they still hope to be a strong summer travel season.
高管们表示,企业差旅增长速度低于预期也给航空公司带来了更大压力,企业差旅面临着与许多家庭相同的挑战。Adding to pressure, executives said, is slower-than-expected growth from corporate travel, which is facing the same challenges many households are.
达美航空公司、西南航空公司、阿拉斯加航空公司和美国航空公司本月都撤回了2025年的财务预测,称目前美国经济形势严峻,难以预测。Delta, Southwest, Alaska Airlines and American Airlines pulled their 2025 financial outlooks this month, saying the U.S. economy is too tough to predict right now.
