Tariff-driven inflation isn’t showing up in the data just yet, but some experts say it’s coming.

00:00When it comes to the inflationary impact of tariffs, do you think it's a case of not yet

00:05or not at all? I think it's a case of not yet. Let's remember that in the first quarter,

00:10many businesses accelerated their purchases of inventories. And so consumers are probably

00:15out there buying things that are much lower in price and pre-tariff. But certainly once

00:20those inventories run down, consumers will be faced with those tariffs. And so that'll

00:25probably show up in inflation readings at the second half of the year. Again, we have to

00:30remember that these prices, tariffs go through many rounds before it gets the consumer. It could

00:35be the manufacturer or the recipient at the docks, then the wholesaler, then the retailer.

00:40And at each level, you could have some inflation added on for convenience that ultimately means

00:45higher prices for the consumer. So it's really not yet. It's more of a second half issue.
