Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Trump's 60% Tariff on China, 10% Elsewhere to Raise US Inflation: Model
- The proposed tariff plan by Donald Trump could potentially cause inflation to exceed the Federal Reserve's target, leading to a possible increase in interest rates.
- Analysis indicates that implementing Trump's plan would negatively impact US growth and raise living costs for Americans.
- Experts predict that the proposed tariff measure could push the Fed's preferred price index for personal consumption expenditures to 3.7% by the end of next year, significantly higher than policymakers' target of 2%.
- Trump's proposed plans might result in a 2.5% increase in consumer prices and a 0.5% decrease in gross domestic product after two years, leaving the Fed with the decision to adjust interest rates accordingly.
