đ„łTrump Tariffs Projected to Push US Inflation to 2.5%đ„ł
đ Inflation on the Rise?
According to Trading Economics, US inflation is projected to climb slightly from 2.4% to 2.5% in April 2025 â and Trumpâs new wave of tariffs is being cited as a major factor.
đ§Ÿ Bloomberg Analysts Weigh In:
The increase isnât just about tariffs â itâs about retail demand softening, making it hard for sellers to raise prices without losing customers.
> âWhy is consumer price inflation so moderate even as tariff costs are absorbed domestically?
We believe itâs due to slowing demand in retail â retailers struggle to raise prices without triggering steep drops in sales,â Bloomberg analysts explained.
âł Delayed Impact Expected:
Despite the USâChina trade deal postponing new tariffs for 90 days, economists expect the inflationary effects to kick in over the coming months.
âTrump: Tariff time.
Inflation: Say less.â
âRetailers: Canât raise prices⊠Customers: Canât raise income.â
Will tariffs be Trumpâs inflation trigger? Or just temporary heat?
