BTCCSquare news:
Despite widespread predictions of inflationary pressure, the tangible effects of Trump’s tariffs on consumer prices remain muted. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell noted only select electronics—primarily PCs and A/V equipment sourced from China—have seen measurable price increases. Retailers’ pre-tariff inventory buffers and timing delays are cited as key dampeners.
Automotive markets defy expectations entirely, with new car prices declining 0.2% in May despite 25% tariffs on imports. Research from Telsey Advisory Group confirms the anomaly: just 19 of 80 tracked consumer goods registered price hikes since mid-April, while 16 items became cheaper. The anticipated supply-chain shock has yet to materialize in most sectors.
