It’s Not Unusual
Can you make grown men and women (and equities) weep tears of joy by implementing the highest tariff rates since the 1930s Smoot-Hawley? The answer is yes, you can, as long as it is preceded by the threat of incredibly high, onerous tariffs.
Will Congress Abide The Big Tax Bill?
“Slightly lower taxes for some, similar taxes for others” doesn’t sound like an exciting policy platform. But any time we’re talking about a major U.S. tax and spending bill, the stakes are high.
Say You’ll Be There
The question going forward is what this self-inflicted tariff uncertainty will morph into as time goes on. Will tariffs prove to be a mere inconvenience to U.S. consumers and corporations, with these entities being able to absorb and navigate the impacts without a significant hit to the economy?
Eye of the Hurricane?
The U.S. economy sustained a significant shock on Liberation Day, one that has already shown up clearly in consumer and business survey data. We now brace for the impact on corporate earnings and real economic activity, assuming the tariffs are not withdrawn in the interim.
