美媒：关税战压力恐致苹果公司在美销售产品涨价
美国推出的“对等关税”可能导致苹果公司在美国销售的主要产品涨价。
彭博社报道认为，最新的关税冲击将是苹果公司迄今面临的最大考验。即便苹果加快多元化布局，进一步调整供应链，推动供应商降价，一旦关税按计划实施，苹果仍将承受成本和利润率压力，将不得不考虑调整产品在美售价。
报道说，苹果公司曾在欧洲和日本等地通过涨价应对税收政策、汇率波动和通胀冲击。苹果公司理论上可以推迟到9月推出新一代手机时再调整价格，但这将使产品涨价而非硬件升级成为焦点。
彭博社认为，苹果公司难以全面实现在美国制造产品，这需要至少五年时间才能启动生产，而且会使苹果设备成本翻倍，极大推高苹果产品价格，对公司和消费者来说都是灾难性的。

Bitcoin mining is the process of adding new transactions to the Bitcoin blockchain. It’s a tough job. People who choose to mine Bitcoin use a process called proof of work, deploying computers in a race to solve mathematical puzzles that verify transactions.To entice miners to keep racing to solve the puzzles and support the overall system, the Bitcoin code rewards miners with new Bitcoins. “This is how new coins are created” and new transactions are added to the blockchain, says Okoro.
In general, many financial experts support their clients’ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they don’t recommend it unless clients express interest. “The biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesn’t do well, and then all of a sudden they can’t send their kids to college,” says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. “Then it wasn’t worth the risk.” The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clients’ “side” investments. “Some call it a Vegas account,” says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. “Let’s keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesn’t become too large a portion of your portfolio.” In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldn’t recommend putting a sizable part of your portfolio into any one company. At most, planners suggest putting no more than 1% to 10% into Bitcoin if you’re passionate about it. “If it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,” Hammel says.
