假日季临近美国玩具价格同比涨6.6% 9月单月涨4.2%为各品类前列
华盛顿——美国劳工统计局最新消费者价格指数（CPI）数据显示，9月美国玩具价格经季节调整后环比上涨4.2%，同比涨幅达6.6%，在主要消费品类中居前。路透社10月15日结合这份数据报道称，假日购物季临近之际，玩具成为涨价感受最明显的品类之一。
整体通胀方面，9月CPI环比上涨0.6%，同比上涨3.7%，涨幅高于8月的3.4%；汽油等能源价格是当月整体涨幅的主要推手之一。服装、鞋类价格9月同样上行，但幅度小于玩具。
据路透社报道，美国市场销售的玩具多数在中国生产，行业对关税政策变化的暴露程度较高；同时玩具多以化石燃料制成的塑料为原料，中东局势推高的能源与运输成本也会传导到货架价格。惠誉评级零售与消费行业高级总监戴维·西尔弗曼对路透社表示，关税与能源这两重因素已经体现在定价上，相关成本影响可能还会持续数个季度。
报道还提到，特朗普总统2025年4月曾表示关税政策可能推高消费价格。路透社与益普索截至10月5日的民调显示，21%的选民认可总统处理生活成本问题的方式，67%表示不认可。

U.S. Toy Prices Jump 6.6% From a Year Earlier Ahead of the Holiday Season, Up 4.2% in September Alone
WASHINGTON — U.S. toy prices rose 4.2% in September on a seasonally adjusted basis and were up 6.6% from a year earlier, among the largest gains in major consumer categories, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest Consumer Price Index. Reuters reported on October 15 that toys are showing some of the sharpest price increases as Americans begin holiday gift planning.
Overall, the CPI rose 0.6% in September and 3.7% over the year, up from a 3.4% annual pace in August, with energy costs including gasoline a major contributor to the monthly gain. Apparel and footwear prices also rose in September, though by less than toys.
Reuters reported that most toys sold in the United States are manufactured in China, leaving the industry exposed to shifting tariff policy, and that toys are largely made from fossil-fuel-based plastics, meaning higher energy and shipping costs can feed into shelf prices. David Silverman, a senior director at Fitch Ratings covering retail and consumer companies, told Reuters the dual pressures are showing up in pricing and that the cost impact could persist for several quarters.
The report also noted that President Donald Trump acknowledged in April 2025 that his tariff policies might raise consumer prices. A Reuters/Ipsos poll through October 5 found 21% of voters approved of the president's handling of cost-of-living issues, while 67% disapproved.
