key takeaways
- President Donald Trump stopped most of his “mutual” tariffs this week, leaving many others in place, as a trade war threatened to pull and increase prices on development due to a trade war.
- An economist will pay more than $ 4,000 per year in import taxes even after an economist estimated an economist.
- The remaining tariffs will pull down economic development and stoke inflation, which would probably lead to “stagflation”, the forecasts said.
Financial markets may rejoice in the 90-day recurrence on the “Liberation Day” tariff of President Donald Trump this week, but the US economy still faces a similar approach as was done before the break.
A major risk of high consumer value, slow growth, and recession is still the forecast despite Trump’s return of various ‘mutual’ tariffs that were declared by the White House last week.
Changes in the rapid-fire tariff policy means that many importers face less tariffs than initially declared. However, American consumers will still be likely to pay higher prices for imports than a month ago. The remaining tariffs include:
- 145% tariff on China
- A 10% global tariff
- 25% tariff on some products from Canada and Mexico
- 25% tariff on cars, with 25% tariff on car parts to be effective in May
- 25% tariff on steel and aluminum
The tariff against China was so extreme that it was almost the same as many economists said the trade with America’s third largest trading partner was completely cutting away.
“The average tariff rate is currently about 20%with a tariff rate on China … In fact Ambargo, “Preston Caldwell, Chief American economist at Morningstar, wrote in a comment on Wednesday. “Comparatively, at the end of 2024, the average effective tariff rate was 2.4%.”
The US will buy 90% less products from China, if catching tariffs, transferring purchases in other countries, economists in Panthon macroeconomics have been estimated.
Inflation and recession are still possible, the forecast says
The remaining tariffs will take an important financial toll over the US consumers as well as the economy, the forecasts said. Economists of Goldman Sachs withdrew their forecasts for the recession from 60% in the coming year, before the delay was announced, but still saw 45% of the recession.
“Everything that was pulled back yesterday was really enough to change your views about this impact on the economy,” Alex Filips said in a conference call on Thursday, Alek Philips, the chief American political economist of Investment Bank, but, finally, the fact that you have still received a sufficient tariff rate. “
Other forecasts stated that the 90-day recurrence had not almost reversed the loss.
“This was encouraging the President to see himself in reverse on the so -called ‘mutual’ tariff, but I do not console it much because the global trade war continues. I still put a recession prospects at 60%this year,” Morgan Stanley’s Chief Economist
The prediction markets were only as pessimistic, with gamblers on polymercate pricing at about 60% of the recession in 2025.
Economists at the Yale Budget Lab on Thursday estimated that the cost of the tariff would be passed to consumers. The lab revised its estimates in view of the stagnation and found that the typical American house would still lose $ 4,700 purchasing power per year.
