https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/07/pand...ice-rises.htmlPandora warns U.S. tariffs will spark sweeping jewelry price increases
...
Pandora currently employs around 8,000 people in the U.S., primarily across its network of stores. Nevertheless, Lacik dismissed the prospect of relocating manufacturing to the U.S. — a key strategic goal of the president’s tariff agenda — saying it wouldn’t make any “financial sense.”
“The U.S. labor cost would be completely uncompe ive,” he said. “So if we were to do this, the consumer pricing would have to significantly go up.”
Costs aside, the jewelry CEO said the country lacks the suitable skills base to produce Pandora’s handcrafted goods.
“I employ up to 15,000 craftspeople in Thailand,” he said. “I can’t find that amount of talent that actually has this craft experience in the U.S. So it’s actually not so much a matter of cost to begin with, it’s about having skilled people who can actually craft the jewelry.”
More than costs and labor, however, Lacik said he would be reluctant to boost U.S. investment due to uncertainty. It comes as companies across other sectors, including pharmaceuticals and autos, have been pledging billions of dollars to boost manufacturing in the country.
“The more worrying thing in all this, is that it’s not predictable,” Lacik said. “I think this plagues most people like myself that sit on the business side of things.”

Strategists at the Bank of America shed light on where some of the capital flowing out of the U.S. may be heading.
According to their data analysis, U.S. equities saw an $8.9 billion outflow in the week to April 30.

"“My sense is that this will be about de escalation, not about the big trade deal … but we’ve got to de escalate before we can move forward,” Bessent told Fox News."

"We have shared interests. This isn't sustainable, as I said before, especially on the Chinese side — and, you know, 145%, 125% is the equivalent of an embargo. We don't want to decouple — what we want is fair trade."
