Coin World reports that the Federal Reserve released the minutes of the July meeting, which mentioned that regarding the extent of the impact of tariffs on prices, several participants observed that the evidence so far indicates that foreign exporters have only borne a small portion of the new tariffs, which means that domestic businesses and consumers are the main bearers of the tariff costs. Some participants, based on information from business contacts or surveys, expect that over time, many companies will increasingly have to pass on tariff costs to end customers. However, several participants also stated that business contacts and survey respondents indicated that they are adopting various strategies to avoid fully passing on tariff costs to customers. These strategies include negotiating with suppliers or changing suppliers, altering production processes, reducing profit margins, tightening wage controls, or utilizing cost-saving efficiency measures such as automation and new technologies.
