-- 根據彭博社週二報道，橡樹資本管理公司(Oaktree Capital Management)已起訴BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings (BJ)，指控該公司違背了出售其約2,900萬美元關稅退稅權益的交易。 橡樹資本稱，BJ's最初同意以約2,000萬美元的價格出售這些權益，但隨著關稅退稅價值的上漲，該公司後來卻反悔了。橡樹資本將此舉描述為「非法且惡意的賣方反悔」。 這次糾紛正值美國最高法院裁定推翻川普總統先前的多項關稅政策後，退稅金額飆升之際。 報道稱，橡樹資本表示，雙方已就協議進行了全面談判，只剩下最終簽署階段，但BJ's卻援引了「反悔條款」。 橡樹資本和BJ's均未立即回覆的置評請求。 （市場動態新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話。這些資訊據信來自可靠來源，但可能包含傳聞和推測。準確性無法保證。）
