TheWkly Analysis

A new study confirmed people are paying for President Trump’s tariffs. In other words, consumers (and businesses) are paying the bulk of the costs — not countries targeted by the tariffs.

Multiple perspectives analyzed from 2 sources
What this means for you:
This could affect your wallet by keeping tariff-related price increases on goods you buy.
This could affect your small business by raising costs if you import components or resell imported products.
This could affect your planning by making it worth tracking policy changes that could shift costs quickly.
Your Wallet
Tariffs jack up prices on imported clothes, electronics, and car parts, crimping your budget for dinners out or weekend trips. Retail jobs could take a hit, but U.S. factories might add shifts. Skip big discretionary buys now; XLY dip could be a buy if wages rise.
