#Inflation fears drove much of the downturn. Respondents expect inflation a year from now to run at a 5% rate, up 0.1 percentage point from the mid-month reading & a 0.7 percentage point acceleration from February. 🚨🚨At the 5-year horizon, the outlook now is for 4.1%, the first time the survey has had a reading above 4% since February 1993.🚨🚨

Nearly all of the replacement parts on the shelves inside Fred Billeh's Warehouse in Chicago came from the countries facing new #tariffs. He estimates his warehouse carries "millions" of parts.

The INSUR Information Institute had already forecast premium increases this year of about 7%, & that was before the new tariffs.

🚨"The impact of the tariffs will create a "ripple" effect, with tariffs today being felt in 12 to 18 months.

I hit the +1 button for three different things in my shopping cart this morning because:

1) at this very moment, I have the money;

2) the items are consumable and shelf-stable;

3) the items are not manufactured in the USA;

4) there is no way in hell they won't cost a ton more by the time I need them next, if I will be able to get them at all.
