Why raising prices in Japan amid ‘insanely high’ inflation…
When Japan’s “symbol of affordability” Uniqlo decided to increase the price of its basic socks last month, it sparked a backlash before the clothing titan made an immediate U-turn. That came after Italian-style family restaurant chain Saizeriya issued an almost grovelling apology as it decided to add 20 yen (US$0.13) to the price of its trademark Milanese Doria, lamenting its “lack of effort”. The very public angst, including in one of the world’s most recognisable clothing brands, highlights...

The number of European and American buyers attending China’s largest trade fair rose sharply this autumn, though exporters on the floor said economic headwinds in the West continued to act as a drag on deal making. Attendees from the European Union and United States at the latest edition of the Canton Fair, which concluded on Wednesday, were up by 38.2 per cent and 22.2 per cent, respectively, compared with the previous event in April, according to the event organisers. The increases far...

Employment in the United States grew by 165,000 jobs in October, far exceeding analysts’ expectations, with the unemployment rate dipping to 4.1 per cent, government data showed on Friday. The relatively stable labour market has allowed the US Federal Reserve – which has a dual mandate to maintain inflation at a long-term 2 per cent target while ensuring maximum employment – to make fighting stubbornly high prices its priority. The strong October data could add to pressure for further rate...

Consumer price index rises amid fuel cost surge
Inflationary pressure in Taiwan remained elevated last month, with the consumer price index (CPI) rising 2.33 percent year-on-year, its sixth consecutive month above the central bank’s 2 percent alert, albeit slowing from 2.74 percent in September, the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and S

After the Democrats swept the US midterm elections, a divided government may help restrain future Treasury borrowing and prevent fresh deficit blowouts, though it will not necessarily bring down elevated bond yields, analysts say. The US Treasury Department unveiled its quarterly refunding statement on Wednesday, with market participants describing the overall borrowing outlook as largely neutral. Based on its projected financing needs, the Treasury said it expected to keep note and bond auction...

Since returning to the White House in January last year, US President Donald Trump has upended the global trading order with his scattergun approach to tariffs and launched a war on Iran that sent oil prices soaring. On Tuesday, American voters hurting from nagging inflation and the high cost of living that have defined Trump’s second term have the opportunity to deliver their verdict on his Republican Party in the midterm elections. Polls suggest that the Republicans, who currently control both...

昨日黃金價格微幅走軟 避險資產地位仍受關注
商傳媒｜吳承岳／台北報導根據消費者新聞與商業頻道（CNBC）報導，昨日（2026年11月2日）美東時間上午 9 時，黃金現貨價格為每盎司 3,941.29 美元，較上週五盤中價格的 3,953.52 美元略有下跌。 儘管價格出現微幅波動，黃金仍被市場廣泛視為重要的資產避險工具（safe-haven asset），尤其在經濟或政治動盪時期，黃金因其保值特性而受到投資人青睞。此外，黃金也常被用來對抗通膨（inflation hedge），在物價上漲時能維持購買力，並在市場下跌時表現出較強的韌性，有助於分散投資組合的風險。 投資人有多種方式將黃金納入投資組合。其中一種是直接購買實體黃金，例如金條或高純度金塊（bullion）。這些產品可透過 APMEX、JM Bullion 等專業黃金經銷商購買，甚至好市多（Costco）和沃爾瑪（Walmart）等零售商也有販售。此外，具有獨特或歷史價值的金幣也是常見的實體黃金投資品項。然而，實體黃金投資需要自行妥善儲存，且未來若需變現，也需尋找經銷商轉換為現金。 另一種選擇是開設黃金個人退休帳戶（Gold IRA）。這類帳戶允許投資人從美國國稅局（IRS）核准的精煉廠購買黃金，並由信託公司負責安全保管，同時提供稅務優惠。Goldco、American Hartford Gold 和 Birch Gold Group 等公司提供黃金個人退休帳戶服務，但投資人需留意帳戶設立費和年度管理費，且黃金個人退休帳戶本身不產生股息或利息，其成長完全取決於黃金價格的變動。 此外，投資人也可透過黃金指數股票型基金（Gold ETF）參與黃金市場。這類基金主要追蹤黃金價格，有些直接投資於實體黃金，有些則投資於黃金礦業公司的股票。黃金 ETF 可在大多數投資平台交易，例如嘉信理財集團（Schwab）和富達（Fidelity）。消費者新聞與商業頻道（CNBC）指出，富達因提供多樣化選擇且免佣金而備受推薦，嘉信理財集團則以其活絡投資零最低存款額度而受到關注。 【提醒您】 投資有賺有賠，本文僅供參考，不構成投資建議

日本物價漲潮下 宜得利客營雙挫 優衣庫逆勢獲利創高
商傳媒｜吳承岳／台北報導面對日本物價持續上漲，零售市場正經歷一場顯著的消費模式轉變。消費經濟分析師 Hiroaki Watanabe（渡辺広明）指出，儘管部分零售商營收看似亮眼，實則隱藏著顧客流失與購買量減少的隱憂。此一現象，在平價家具家飾品牌宜得利家居（Nitori）與服飾品牌優衣庫（Uniqlo）的表現上形成鮮明對比：宜得利客數與營收雙雙下滑，優衣庫卻逆勢創下歷史新高獲利，凸顯了在消費兩極化（K-shaped economy）下的不同營運策略影響。 Hiroaki Watanabe 觀察到，日本消費者在面對物價攀升的壓力時，正採取多樣化的節約策略，例如減少購買單價較高的商品、縮減購買數量與頻率，甚至轉向尋求替代品。他進一步解釋，這種消費型態的轉變，讓零售業者面臨了截然不同的市場挑戰。 根據《JBpress Innovation Review》報導，2025 年日本主要連鎖便利商店的總店舖銷售額達到 12.0583 兆日圓，年增 2.2%。然而，同期的顧客流量卻下滑了 0.2%。Hiroaki Watanabe 指出，便利商店、超級市場及藥妝店普遍出現客單價提高，但來店客數與購買商品數量減少的趨勢。他表示：「在物價高漲下，客單價雖然上揚，但來店客數卻減少，且顧客明顯在減少購買數量。這種情況在超市和藥妝店也一樣。」他解釋，這主要是因為商品價格上漲而非顧客增加所致。例如，過去會購買御飯糰、飲料和甜點的消費者，如今可能選擇放棄甜點。 這種營收數字與現場感受之間的落差，凸顯了物價推升型通膨（cost-push inflation）的影響。由於薪資成長未能跟上物價上漲的速度，消費者被迫減少實質購買量。儘管帳面上的總銷售額可能因價格因素創下新高，但零售現場的客流減少，反映出民眾消費力的緊縮。

US Fed holds interest rates steady despite surging inflation
The US Federal Reserve on Wednesday held interest rates steady, in line with market expectations, days ahead of crucial midterm elections where surging inflation has been a key issue. The 12-member Federal Open Market Committee voted 10-2 to hold rates at a target range between 3.75 to 4.00 per cent, citing the need for more data in the fight against inflation, after having hiked for the first time in three years at its previous meeting in September. “The accumulation of more information will...

While the eyes of the world are fixed on the US Federal Reserve’s policy meeting later this week and the trajectory of American inflation, observers of the Chinese economy are closely tracking a different metric: the producer price index (PPI). For the world’s manufacturing powerhouse, factory-gate prices have long served as a key barometer of the country’s economic health, and early signs of a recent rebound have raised questions about whether it is a solid, sustainable recovery or a mere flash...

美國太陽能轉型之路：政策與技術合力驅動綠能成長
圖／示意圖商傳媒｜方承業／綜合外電報導美國太陽能產業歷經逾半世紀的發展，從早期技術萌芽走向如今的能源主流，其間見證了技術突破與政策支持的雙重推進。這段美國太陽能產業的歷史脈絡 反映了從實驗室研究到大規模商業應用，再到超越傳統化石燃料的歷程。 早在 1954 年，美國紐澤西州貝爾實驗室（Bell Labs）便成功開發出首批矽太陽能電池，奠定太陽能技術的演進 基礎。然而，太陽能的廣泛應用需待數十年之後。1974 年，太陽能產業協會（SEIA）成立，旨在推動太陽能資源的普及。 1978 年，美國國會通過《公用事業管制政策法案》（Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act），鼓勵再生能源發展。前美國總統吉米·卡特（Carter）於 1979 年在白宮安裝太陽能板，象徵對太陽能的早期支持。隨後，第一座公用事業規模的太陽能發電廠於 1982 年在加利福尼亞州希斯皮里亞啟用，由 ARCO石油公司興建，並在 1983 年於 Carrizo Plain 建成 5.2 MW 的設施。明尼蘇達州更在 1983 年率先實施「淨計量電價」法案，允許太陽能用戶將多餘電力回售電網。 進入 21 世紀，美國能源政策的細節 更加明確。2005 年《聯邦能源政策法案》催生了首個太陽能投資稅收抵免政策。2006 年，華盛頓州埃倫斯堡市建立全國首個社區太陽能設施。2011 年，美國能源部（Department of Energy, DOE）啟動 SunShot Initiative，目標是在十年內將太陽能成本降低 75%。這項計畫比預期提早三年，於 2017 年使公用事業級太陽能成本降至每瓦 1 美元以下。前美國總統巴拉克·歐巴馬（Obama）也在 2013 年於白宮重新安裝太陽能板，並於同年發布氣候行動計畫。 近年來，太陽能產業發展進入快車道。2015 年，佛蒙特州伯靈頓市成為美國第一個實現 100% 再生能源供電的城市，同年夏威夷州設定了 100% 再生能源目標。至 2016 年，美國太陽能裝置量突破 100 萬戶。2022 年，現任美國總統拜登（Biden）簽署《降低通膨法案》（Inflation Reduction Act, IRA），該法案是美國史上最大的氣候與能源法案，並首次為儲能提供獨立稅收抵免，更激勵美國本土太陽能模組製造能力從不足 7 GW 增長至 75 GW。 根據《pv magazine USA》報導，太陽能產業持續取得重要里程碑。2023 年，太陽能發電量佔美國新增電網容量的 50% 以上。在 2026 年第一季，美國太陽能裝置量達到 600 萬戶，並首度超越燃煤發電量。到了 2026 年第二季，美國儲能系統送電量達到 4.5 TW/h，創下單季新高。太陽能產業協會（SEIA）與 Benchmark Intelligence 的報告顯示，2026 年上半年儲能產業新增容量達 20.2 GWh。過去十年來，太陽能發電在美國總電力構成中的佔比已增長七倍。太陽能產業協會預期，直至 2060 年甚至更久遠，太陽能仍將是美國新增能源的主力。

油價飆漲推升美國通膨 民眾薪資漲幅跟不上物價
圖／本報資料庫商傳媒｜吳承岳／台北報導美國正承受高通膨壓力，尤其能源成本近期大幅攀升，成為推動物價上漲的主要因素，使得一般民眾的實質薪資大受影響。這股由油氣價格波動導致的通膨現象，被稱為「化石通膨」。 近日中東地緣政治緊張局勢加劇，導致國際原油價格飆升。根據《UPI》報導，葉門（Yemen）胡塞武裝組織襲擊沙烏地阿拉伯（Saudi Arabia）目標，加上伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊（伊斯蘭革命衛隊）在荷莫茲海峽（Strait of Hormuz）對油輪發動攻擊，推升了市場對原油供應中斷的擔憂。 昨日美國西德州原油（WTI）盤中價格突破每桶 105 美元，國際布蘭特原油（Brent）更衝破 110 美元大關，創下五個月來新高。這不僅直接影響汽油等日常消費品價格（原油精煉後的汽油成本上升，直接轉嫁給消費者），也間接推高了貨物運輸與製造業的成本，最終導致商品價格全面上揚，讓民眾的日常開銷變得更沉重。 《Oilprice.com》指出，美國勞動統計局（Bureau of Labor Statistics）的消費者物價指數（Consumer Price Index）顯示，過去 12 個月內商品與服務總體價格上漲了 3.7%。其中，汽油價格飆漲 34.2%，燃料油價格更是大增 74.2%。儘管部分薪資有所增長，但仍遠不及物價上漲速度，對許多美國人而言，實質購買力受到侵蝕，形同變相減薪。歐洲央行（European Central Bank）官員伊莎貝爾·施納貝爾（Isabel Schnabel）將此現象稱為「化石通膨（fossilflation）」，凸顯油氣價格波動對經濟的持續性影響。 面對能源成本持續推升的通膨壓力，市場正密切關注聯準會（Federal Reserve）的下一步動作。《Yahoo Finance》報導，聯準會上次在九月升息一碼後，儘管部分官員暗示不急於進一步緊縮政策，但交易員透過芝商所（CME）的 FedWatch Tool 評估，預期十二月升息一碼的機率仍高達 92%。在此背景下，黃金價格昨日小幅走低，現貨黃金盤中報每盎司約 4,118.10 美元。傳統上，黃金被視為避險資產和抗通膨工具，但在高利率環境下，由於它不產生收益，吸引力相對下降。 此外，美國商務部（Commerce Department）公布的數據顯示，九月新屋開工數月減 5.2%，建照核發數月減 0.2%，也對金價構成壓力。 美元指數（U.S. Dollar Index）在近期觸及 18 個月高點後，昨日小幅回落。主要因交易員權衡中東緊張局勢和 AI 產業資本流入的風險。例如，南韓 AI 服務公司 Elice Group 在首爾上市首日股價便暴跌 32%，引發對 AI 股估值過高的疑慮。另一方面，加拿大元因艾伯塔省（Alberta）居民公投支持留在加拿大而走強；日圓則因日本政府公債拍賣需求強勁而上漲。英國勞動力市場數據顯示出韌性，推升英鎊走勢，市場預期英格蘭銀行（Bank of England）將在十一月五日的會議上升息一碼。 整體而言，能源成本的高漲正為美國經濟帶來多重挑戰，不僅直接影響民眾生活開銷，也考驗聯準會的貨幣政策決策，並讓地緣政治風險與日常經濟生活的關聯性更加顯著。 參考來源 Spot gold price near low after U.S. housing starts fall 5.2%…（KitcoNewsNOW） The price of gold today, Oct. 20, 2026 — and the best places…（CNBC） U.S. crude oil hits more than $105 per barrel, international…（UPI） Gold edges lower as investors weigh Fed rate signals（Yahoo Finance） Gold eases as higher oil prices stoke inflation concerns（American Journal of Transportation） Commodity markets diverge as oil outpaces cracks in copper,…（TradingView） US Dollar Weakens Against The Loonie as 10-Year Yields Edge…（Moomoo News） US Dollar Weakens Against The Loonie as 10-Year Yields Edge…（MarketScreener） Dollar dips as traders weigh Iran, A
