Trump's 'golden rule' for imposing reciprocal tariffs
Tariffs tend to be inflationary because they raise the cost of imported goods, prompting businesses to either absorb the higher expenses or pass them on to consumers through price increases. It can lead to broader inflationary pressures as production costs rise across industries that rely on foreign materials and components.
For consumers, the fear of rising prices often fuels stockpiling behavior, particularly of non-perishable food, toilet paper and medical supplies, as they rush to buy goods before costs escalate further.
When asked about the impact of Trump's planned tariffs on large purchases, 22% respondents said they had a significant impact, while 30% reported some impact, according to the report.
Wall Street is anxious tariffs may accelerate U.S. inflation, prevent the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates and slow economic growth as uncertainty surrounding trade policies can also weigh on consumer confidence.
