美国银行的商业银行业务总裁Sharon Miller表示,小型制造商正在放缓商业支出,而餐饮业和大多数零售业仍表现强劲。
“我们看到购物、外出就餐、各种类型的零售商以及电子商务都表现出强劲势头。” Miller周一在援引该银行汇总的信用卡和借记卡支出数据表示。她指出,零售业中唯一的例外是家具销售。“你必须关注数据所传达的信息,而不一定是消费者说了什么。”
Miller表示,即将到来的关税、税收以及不稳定的政治环境,都在阻碍小企业对未来进行规划。她指出,年收入在100万美元及以下的小企业缺乏足够的现金和产品多样性,难以应对宏观经济变化带来的冲击。在不确定时期,这一脆弱的群体往往会推迟重大支出决策。
“现在是一种观望态度。我们仍然看到企业在进行支出,只是没有去年那么强劲,”Miller表示。她还指出,年收入在50万美元及以下的小型制造商,已经开始出现疲软迹象。
