Umthelela KaTrump Wentela: Abathengisi Baxwayisa Ngokukhuphuka Kwamanani Ezimpahla

Njengoba uMongameli uDonald Trump eseqalile ukusebenzisa amanani aphelele ezimpahla ezingeniswayo ezivela eShayina, eMexico, naseCanada, manje esesebenza, abathengisi balungiselela ukuphazamiseka okukhulu. Amanani amasha afaka phakathi ukwenyuka ngo-10% kwezimpahla zaseShayina kanye nokwenyuka ngo-25% emikhiqizweni evela eMexico naseCanada, okuphoqa abathengisi ukuthi baphinde bahlole amaketanga abo okuhlinzeka kanye namasu okubeka amanani.

Abathengisi abaningi abakhulu baye baxwayisa ngomthelela ongaba khona emabhizinisini abo nakubathengi. Isikhulu esiphezulu seTarget uBrian Cornell uxwayise ngokuthi amanani ezolimo angakhuphuka zingakapheli izinsuku ngenxa yentela eMexico, njengoba inkampani ithembele kakhulu ezithelweni nasemifino engenisiwe evela lapho ebusika. Isikhulu esiphezulu seBest Buy uCorie Barry uphawule ukuthi njengoba u-75% wemikhiqizo yenkampani ivela eShayina naseMexico, abathengi baseMelika "kungenzeka kakhulu" ukuthi babone ukwenyuka kwentengo. UBarry ukhombe ukuthi yize iBest Buy ingenisa ngqo u-2%-3% wemikhiqizo yayo, inkampani ilindele ukuthi abahlinzeki badlulisele izindleko zentela kubathengi.

I-Walmart, umthengisi omkhulu kunabo bonke e-US, ayikakayifaki intela yentela esiqondisweni sayo sonyaka wonke kodwa iyavuma ukungaqiniseki okulethayo. I-CFO uJohn David Rainey uthe i-Walmart kungase kudingeke inyuse amanani kwezinye izimo.
Izindleko kulindeleke ukuthi zinciphise inzuzo kubathengisi abaningi, okungenzeka zibaphoqe ukuba bakhethe phakathi kokwamukela izindleko eziphakeme, ukudlulisela izindleko kubathengi, noma inhlanganisela yakho kokubili. I-National Retail Federation ixwayise ngokuthi uma nje izindleko zisasebenza, "abantu baseMelika bazophoqeleka ukukhokha amanani aphezulu ezimpahla zasekhaya."

Kodwa-ke, abanye abathengisi babona izinzuzo ezingaba khona ngenxa yokuphazamiseka kokuhweba. Izinkampani zesaphulelo ezifana ne-TJ Maxx, ezithenga impahla eyengeziwe kwabanye abathengisi, zingase zithole inzuzo ngokwandisa amasheya njengoba amabhizinisi eshesha ukungenisa izimpahla ngaphambi kwesikhathi esibekiwe sentela. UScott Goldenberg, i-CFO ye-TJX Cos., uthe intela ingadala "indawo enhle yokuthenga" yenkampani.

Imakethe ye-e-commerce i-Etsy nayo izibheka njengenzuzo engaba khona. I-CEO uJosh Silverman uphawule ukuthi ukuthembela kwenkampani emikhiqizweni yaseShayina kuphansi kunokwezimbangi zayo. Okwamanje, amapulatifomu okuthengisa kabusha njenge-ThredUp alindele ukuthi uma amanani okuthengisa enyuka, abathengi abakhathalela amanani bangaphendukela emikhiqizweni esetshenzisiwe.

Umthelela wentela usuqala ukubonakala nasemininingwaneni yempahla.

Njengoba usuku lokuqala lwebhizinisi lukaMashi lusondela, izinyathelo zentela zaseNyakatho Melika ziyaqhubeka ngokugcwele, njengoba abathumeli beqhubeka nokuthutha izimpahla ezivela eCanada ziye e-US ukuze bagweme intela ezoqala ukusebenza ngoLwesibili. Lokhu kuholele ekukhuphukeni kwenani lamathenda okuthumela impahla evela eCanada, okuhlanganisa nengxenye enkulu yemithwalo ewela imingcele, kanye nokwanda okukhulu kwamathenda awenqatshwe yizinkampani ngenxa yokulinganiselwa kwamandla noma ukungakwazi ukuthumela izimpahla ezinenzuzo emakethe.

Ngokukhethekile, izinkampani zezindiza zenqabe u-4.8% kanye no-6.6% wamathenda aphumayo eCanada ngoJanuwari nangoFebhuwari, ngokulandelana, kanti ezinsukwini eziyisikhombisa ezedlule, zenqabe u-10.5% wamathenda aphumayo eCanada.

Izindleko zithinta nendawo yokuthengisa eCanada, njengoba izifundazwe eziningana ziqala ukususa utshwala baseMelika emashalofini ukuze ziziphindiselele. I-Ontario, iQuebec, neBritish Columbia zimemezele ukuthi zizoyeka ukungenisa nokuthengisa ubhiya baseMelika, iwayini, kanye notshwala ngezitolo zikahulumeni.

Kubalimi baseMelika kanye namabhizinisi ezolimo, amanani entela aletha izinselele ezengeziwe. Izinkampani zomanyolo ezifana neCompass Minerals zithe ngemva kokuba amanani entela emikhiqizweni yaseCanada ebekwe, kuzodingeka zidlulisele izindleko kumakhasimende. Lokhu kungaba nemiphumela yesikhathi eside ezindleleni zokufaka zabalimi kanye nenzuzo ngenkathi futhi kuthinta amakhasimende athengisayo emaphaketheni awo.
