Coca-Cola announced that it will increase prices
Recently, according to US Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC), James Quincy, the CEO of Coca-Cola, the world's largest soft drink producer, said in an interview that the company is planning to increase product prices due to significant increases in raw material prices.
"We have good hedging measures in 2021, but the pressure in 2022 is increasing, so prices must rise." Quincy said Coca-Cola intends to "wisely" manage prices Rising, such as using different packaging sizes to give consumers different price options.
However, Quincy did not specify which products will increase prices.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, global raw material prices have risen severely, and Coca-Cola’s raw materials have not been spared. Including aluminum and plastic packaging materials and high-fructose syrup in beverage raw materials. Take aluminum as an example. Within a year, each ton of aluminum has risen by 7,000 yuan. If you think about it this way, you probably don't have any idea. When it comes to a 330ml Coke can, the cost price will increase by about 40 cents.
I remember that the last time Coca-Cola raised its price was three years ago, because the Trump administration imposed a 10% tariff on canned raw material aluminum. With the same taste and golden packaging, Coca-Cola has also "a last resort" to increase its price.
Recently many multinational consumer giants announced price increases
In recent days, we seem to have seen a lot of news about price increases. In addition to Coca-Cola, multinational consumer giants such as Procter & Gamble, Kimberly-Clark, Hormel, and Siwei Ke announced their plans to increase the prices of their products. From steel to aluminum products, from Coca-Cola to P&G Daily Chemicals, everything seems to be announcing price increases. What is going on? Many people are asking is this inflation coming?
Price pressures are gradually emerging. Data shows that the CPI in the United States in March rose by 2.6% year-on-year, the highest level since the fall of 2018. The Fed’s latest Beige Book of Economic Conditions pointed out that prices rose slightly in early April and input costs rose across the board, especially in manufacturing, construction, retail, and transportation, especially metals, wood, food, and fuel. The price is even more so.
The direct reason is that the cost of bulk commodities has become higher.
In the first quarter price report released by the National Bureau of Statistics, it also clearly pointed out that the PPI's rising trend has accelerated. Data show that the March CPI of 26 provinces has been increasing year-on-year, and consumption costs are expected to remain at a relatively high level.
A rise in PPI will lead to a rise in CPI. In the first quarter of this year, we have not noticeably felt the rise in CPI, and upstream prices will be transmitted down in the future. The upward pressure on CPI has become apparent, and it is only a matter of time.
This is an obvious signal that inflation is already on the way.
At present, inflation mainly belongs to moderate re-inflation brought about by economic recovery, rather than persistent high inflation. The impact of the epidemic on the global economy is not over yet, and the rise in commodities may just be the beginning. In the next few years, the global economic situation will become even more erratic.
Inflation is coming, how to protect wealth?
In the face of high inflation, it has become more and more difficult to maintain wealth, and it is even more difficult to increase value. But choosing the right investment method can still achieve wealth preservation and appreciation.
Asset globalization is the general trend. Overseas asset allocation is a popular way for high-net-worth individuals to deploy globally.
Overseas real estate, the investment threshold is relatively low, we don't need to master too many skills, the risk is relatively low, and the allocation of overseas real estate can also increase the convenience of identity, which is also a kind of asset protection.
The attractiveness of investment hedges in Japanese real estate
With a stable economy, an international financial system and an open investment environment, Japanese real estate has attracted a large number of overseas investors in recent years. Even during the epidemic, countries impose travel restrictions, and well-located houses in some major cities such as Tokyo and Osaka are still in demand.
According to Nikkei News, the Blackstone Group, a large US investment company, once again invested 110 billion yen (approximately 6.9 billion yuan) in Japanese real estate, acquiring office buildings and commercial facilities in Tokyo, Osaka and other metropolises. The Blackstone Group is in Japan this year. The total amount of investment in real estate has reached 600 billion yen (approximately 37.8 billion yuan).
The Blackstone Group believes that in the medium to long term, there will be strong rental demand in areas such as Tokyo and Osaka.
In the field of investment, no analysis can compare to where the money of major investment institutions and well-known investors is actually invested. It is more convincing!
The Japanese government currently welcomes overseas investment in real estate with few restrictions. Now it is an excellent time to invest in Japanese real estate.
In this post-epidemic era when everything is beginning to skyrocket, in order to better protect our wealth, let's act quickly!
