💼 The upcoming fiscal stimulus from Congress is expected to be insufficient and too late to counter the near-term drag on economic growth caused by recent tariff increases.
🏭 Tariffs will cause short-term pain through increased prices, but may lead to long-term gain by forcing companies to relocate production to the US.
📉 The tariff-induced price increases could result in deflation as consumers reduce spending, potentially triggering a cycle of economic contraction.
🔄 Companies may eventually lower prices to remain competitive as they adjust to the new tariff landscape, potentially offsetting some of the initial economic impact.
