美联储威廉姆斯：尚不清楚稳定币将如何影响储备需求。

研究公司Omdia称，今年剩余时间里个人电脑(PC)需求可能会很低迷，因为超过一半的受访企业合作伙伴报告称，客户正在推迟硬件升级。随着内存和闪存成本飙升推动零售价上涨20%至40%，第二季度全球PC出货量同比下降3.6%，至6570万台。早期的成本飙升已经促使一些买家提前购买。Omdia还强调了苹果公司最近的MacBook涨价，这反映了将零部件价格的严重涨幅直接转嫁给客户的广泛行业趋势。

CITIGROUP analysts say Mercedes‑Benz shares showed little reaction to a c.8% drop in global auto sales in Q2, highlighting very low market expectations. The bank says investors are likely to wait for clear evidence of stronger EBIT margins or a resumption of buybacks before re‑entering. Mercedes sold 2,000 fewer cars in Q2 versus Q1, which points to a renewed margin squeeze after the 4.1% reported in Q1. Van volumes rose 1% to 94,000 units; that division should deliver another solid quarter with margins near 10%. CITIGROUP rates the stock neutral with a PT of €51.
