Ungatshala Kanjani Ekuthengisweni Kwezinto Zobucwebe Ezikhulayo

Ukuthengiswa kobucwebe e-U.S. bakhuphukile njengoba abantu baseMelika bezizwa beqiniseka ngokwengeziwe ekusebenziseni imali ekuthengeni okuthile.I-World Gold Council ithi ukuthengiswa kobucwebe begolide e-U.S. benyuke ngamaphesenti ama-2 ngekota yesithathu kusukela onyakeni odlule, besakhela phezu kwezinzuzo ezibonwe eminyakeni embalwa edlule."Kubonise izimpawu zenqubekelaphambili ezingxenyeni ezimbalwa, nakuba ukuzuza kube kuncane kodwa kuzinzile," kusho uKrishan Gopaul, wezobunhloli bemakethe. umhlaziyi weWorld Gold Council eLondon. Uthi ukwenyuka kokuthengiswa kobucwebe begolide kungase kube uphawu lwesidingo se-pent-up njengoba abantu baseMelika bebekuyekile ukuthenga ubucwebe kulandela i-Great Recession.Idatha ye-MasterCard SpendingPulse ibonisa ukudayiswa okuphelele kobucwebe kukhuphuke ngamaphesenti angu-1.1 ngo-2015, ukuthengiswa kwezimakethe ezimaphakathi kukhuphuke ngamaphesenti angu-4.5. Imibiko yayo yedatha nge-U.S. ukuthengiswa kwezitolo kuzo zonke izinhlobo zokukhokha.U-Sarah Quinlan, iphini likamongameli ophezulu wemininingwane yemakethe ye-MasterCard Advisors yaseNew York City, uthi ukuthengiswa kobucwebe kube kuhle izinyanga ezingu-32 zilandelana, ngaphandle kwe-blip ehlobene nesikhathi sePhasika kulo nyaka. “Umjaho omkhulu lowo. Ngokungafani nezigaba eziningi, abathengi abahlobanisa nezinto ezingadingekile, ubucwebe buye baduma kumthengi omusha, oqhutshwa ulwazi,” usho kanje.Ukuthenga ubucwebe kuwumbono wesipho ngomzuzu wokugcina, kusho uQuinlan. "Lokhu sikubona njengoba ukuthengisa kudubula olwandulela olwandulela uKhisimusi nasezinsukwini ezingaphambi kukaKhisimusi, futhi sibona lokho kuthambekela ngosuku olungaphambi koSuku Luka-Valentine kanye nosuku olungaphambi koSuku Lomama. Bengihlala ngisola ukuthi amadoda alinda kuze kube umzuzu wokugcina ukuze athenge, kodwa manje sibona ama-data afakazela lokho. Kuyahlekisa kakhulu," usho kanje. Umnotho othuthukisiwe usiza ukuthengiswa kobucwebe. U-Pat O'Hare, umhlaziyi wezimakethe oyinhloko kwa-Briefing.com, inkampani yocwaningo ezinze e-Chicago, uthi ukukhula okuqhubekayo kwesidingo sobucwebe "cishe kubonisa ukuthi abathengi basesimweni esingcono," ngenxa yokukhuphuka kwamanani ezindlu, imakethe yamasheya enamandla. , imakethe yezemisebenzi ethuthukisiwe kanye namanani aphansi egesi."Lezo zici zibonisa kahle. Phezu kwakho, unedola eliqine ngempela manje elenza lithengeke kakhulu e-U.S. abathengi bathenge igolide nezinto zalolo hlobo," kusho u-O'Hare. Idola elinamandla lehlise intengo yezimpahla eziningi, okuhlanganisa igolide namadayimane, atholakala ngamadola. UMark Luschini, usomaqhinga oyinhloko wokutshala izimali we-Janney Montgomery yase-Philadelphia. UScott, inkampani yokuphatha ingcebo esebenza ngokugcwele, izinsizakalo zezezimali kanye nefemu yamabhange yokutshalwa kwezimali, uthi abathengi bathuthukise amaphepha abo ebhalansi kusukela kwaba nenkinga yezimali.Nge-U.S. imininingwane yemisebenzi eqala ukukhombisa ukukhula kwamaholo, "konke lokho kuyakhuthaza emkhakheni wokuzikhethela kwabathengi," kusho uLuschini. Kodwa u-O'Hare noLuschini bathi abathengi baziphatha ngendlela esezingeni eliphezulu ngendlela abasebenzisa ngayo imali, njengoba izindawo ezithile zomkhakha zenza kahle, njengokuthengiswa kwezimoto kanye ne-electronics, kodwa ezinye izindawo zithanda ukushesha kwezingubo. Ubucwebe bubonakala buwela esigabeni sangaphambili, bathi.Akuzona zonke izinkampani zobucwebe ezabelana ngomcebo. Njengoba abantu baseMelika bebonakala bezimisele ukuvula izikhwama zabo zemali, abatshalizimali bangase bacabange ukuthi zonke izitolo zobucwebe ezithengiswa esidlangalaleni zifanele ukuthengwa. Akusheshi kangako.Yabelana ngezintengo zezinye zezitolo zobucwebe obuphambili, njenge-Tiffany & Co. (ithikha: TIF), Signet Jewelers (SIG), umnikazi we-Kay and Zales, kanye neBlue Nile (NILE) zingaphansi konyaka, njengoba kunjalo nabenzi bamawashi i-Movado Group (MOV) neFossil Group (FOSL). U-O'Hare uthi lokho kungase kube uphawu lokuthi i-U.S. umnotho uyathuthuka uma uqhathaniswa nomnotho womhlaba. "Impela kubukeka ngaleyo ndlela, ngenxa yokungafani kwesitoko," esho. Ngenkathi phansi, i-SIG ne-NILE benza kangcono kuno-Tiffany. U-O'Hare uthi amaphesenti angama-84 okuthengiswa kwe-Signet ezinyangeni eziyi-12 ezilandelanayo asuselwa e-US, kanti ukuthengiswa kweBlue Nile cishe ngamaphesenti angama-83. Khonamanjalo, i-Tiffany ithola cishe amaphesenti angu-55 okuthengiswa kwayo ngaphandle kwase-U.S., futhi isitoko sayo sehle ngamaphesenti angu-32 kuze kube manje kulo nyaka. Amaphesenti angu-45 okuthengiswa kweMovado avela ngaphandle kwase-U.S., futhi ukuthengiswa kwayo kwehle ngamaphesenti angu-6 ngonyaka. kuze kube manje. I-Fossil ithola amaphesenti angu-55 okuthengiswa kwayo ngaphandle kwe-U.S., futhi intengo yayo yesabelo sehle ngamaphesenti angu-67 ngonyaka kuze kube manje.I-U.S enamandla kakhulu. Idola lilimaza izitolo ezinjengoTiffany, Movado kanye neFossil phesheya kwezilwandle, kusho u-O'Hare, njengoba lenza lezi zimpahla zibize kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, idola elinamandla ligcina ezinye izivakashi zisekhaya, ngakho izitolo ezifana no-Tiffany nazo ziyashaywa lapho."Lapho u-Tiffany alimala khona, futhi lokhu sikuzwile kwaMacy's, ukuntuleka kwezivakashi zamazwe ngamazwe. U-Tiffany unezindaba ezihamba phambili eNew York naseChicago; kubiza kakhulu kubantu bangaphandle ukuthi bavakashele e-U.S. kulezi zinsuku," usho kanje.Izibalo zabantu zidlala indima ekuthengisweni kobucwebe. U-Quinlan uthi idatha ye-MasterCard SpendingPulse ibonisa ukuthi nakuba ukukhula kobucwebe bemakethe emaphakathi kukhuphuka, izinga eliphezulu kakhulu lobucwebe libone ukukhula okubuthakathaka.U-Luschini no-O'Hare bathi amandla e-Signet kanye ne-Blue Nile angase amele inani labo labantu, okuyinto abasezingeni eliphakathi. umthengi. "Izitolo zobucwebe ezisezingeni eliphakathi ngokusobala zibona inzuzo yokuba nemali encane [engaphezulu] etholakalayo ngenxa yokuqina kwemakethe yemisebenzi kanye nentengo ephansi yegesi," kusho uLuschini. USteven Singer, ongumnikazi weSteven Singer Jewelers ePhiladelphia, uthi ukuthengiswa esitolo sakhe kunyukile, futhi lona omunye weminyaka engcono kakhulu esike yaba nayo. Kepha uthi lokhu kungenxa yokwamukela ukuthi abathengi bathenga kanjani manje, bafinyelele kubo ngamakhathalogi, iwebhusayithi, izinhlelo zokusebenza zeselula noma isitolo esiphathekayo. “Zonke izinto eziyisisekelo, ubucwebe bomakoti, izinsimbi [zedayimane], amasongo ethenisi, konke kuhamba kahle. Kodwa abantu banaka kakhulu amanani," esho.UJohn Person, umongameli we-NationalFutures.com, uthi ukuthengisa izimpahla ku-inthanethi kusiza ngempela inkampani efana neBlue Nile. “IBlue Nile iyisibonelo salokho okumelelwa yikhasimende labo. Umuntu othenga ku-inthanethi, ofuna inkontileka," usho njalo. Isikhathi sokuthenga samaholide cishe sizosiza bonke abenzi bobucwebe. UGopaul weGold Council uthi isidingo sobucwebe e-U.S. ngokwesiko ifinyelela umvuthwandaba ngekota yesine.U-Debbie Carlson unesipiliyoni seminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20 njengentatheli futhi ube nemigqa yemigqa ku-Barron's, The Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, The Guardian, nezinye izincwadi.
