There's 'overwhelming evidence' tariffs have raised consumer prices, says Bank of America

  • Analysts at the Bank of America said tariffs have raised prices for consumers.
  • They wrote in a note that consumers have covered about 50% to 70% of the cost of levies to date.
  • This suggests tariffs will continue to put "upward pressure" on inflation, they said.

For the Bank of America, President Donald Trump's levies have boosted consumer inflation, and there's no uncertainty about that.

"We think there's no debate — tariffs have pushed consumer prices higher," analysts, including Aditya Bhave, managing director and senior US economist at the research unit of the banking giant, wrote in a note on October 31.

Meaningless unless the House acts - others mentioned the Supreme Court will probably strike them down as unconstitutional before the House moves.

 

What's bizarre about this is they're doing it country-by-country.  There's no emergency, period.

more #winning. I wonder how long this anti-American sentiment lasts after Trump. Companies are pivoting to non-US suppliers and will sign long term contracts. Consumers are creatures of habit. When they shift brands, they don't usually go back.

US factories rocked by ‘unprecedented’ rise in unsold stock

US factories are suffering from an “unprecedented” rise in unsold stock as Donald Trump’s trade war hits their overseas sales.

American manufacturers’ unsold inventory soared at the fastest pace in more than 18 years in October, according to the S&P Global Manufacturing purchasing manager’s index (PMI).

Businesses reported that their production exceeded overall demand after tariffs saw their export orders slump for the fourth month in a row.

Sales declined to key markets such as Canada, China, Europe and Mexico, which have all been hit by steep new US tariffs. Although Mr Trump’s tariffs apply to imports from these countries, it seems they have also had a damaging impact on US sales abroad.

Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said the surge in unsold stock was “worrying” and “unprecedented”.

Mr Williamson said: “[It was] widely linked to weaker than anticipated sales to customers, especially in export markets, which could trigger a downshifting of production in the coming months unless demand revives.”

Business confidence among consumer goods producers fell to a two-year low as manufacturers became concerned about future demand.

Mr Williamson added: “Firms [are] growing increasingly worried about household spending in the US and falling sales to consumers in export markets.”

It's not really a "war" if the other side doesn't fight back. And since we "attacked" first, without provocation in most instances, I don't blame them. Anyone with a lick of sense shouldn't be surprised at all by this.

FAFO

So, you raise prices at home so consumers are squeezed, you kick over-seas sales in the balls, and then you cross your fingers that domestic sales can pick up the slack in already over-extended households. 

Seems like a great strategy.

Huge reason why other countries are turning away from us - we cannot be trusted to be reliable partners

Our government is just going to continue to change hands every 2/4 years and you cannot ever trust one party to be a good actor

We need so many goddamn reforms if we get through this. Almost feels like a whole new Convention needs to be called

The failure of Dems to remedy these issues during the Biden administration will be seen as a great failure in our democracy.  Then again, the Republicans fought them every step of the way, even though they knew it may at some point mean their own demise.  Insanity.

A lot of them are constitutional, so not the Democrats' fault unless you want to fault them for not calling a convention or putting amendments on the calendar.

They could have remedied a few of them. But so much more are needed. Seems like so much was just a gentleman’s agreement like the ability to knock down half the White House. The House needs to be expanded, maybe even disband the Senate. So much needs to be fixed
