Trump’s Tariffs Shrank the U.S. Trade Deficit in September The monthly trade deficit fell to its lowest level in five years after the president’s imposition of sweeping global tariffs. But it’s unclear whether the trend will persist.

6/12 But the tariff impact may simply be delayed.

When levies were announced last spring, businesses worldwide scrambled to ship products into the U.S. before they hit.

This created massive stockpiles.

Stockpiling ahead of tariffs likely hurt US economy in the first quarter WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. economy likely stalled or even contracted in the first quarter, swamped by a deluge of imported goods by businesses eager to avoid higher costs, underscoring the disruptive nature of President Donald Trump’s often chaotic tariff policy. The Commerce Department’s advance gross domestic product (GDP) report on Wednesday would, however, grossly exaggerate the economy’s dimming prospects. Coinciding with Trump’s 100 days in office, it will reinforce Americans’ growing disapproval of his handling of the economy thus far. Trump swept to victory last November on voter angst over the economy, especially inflation. Consumer confidence is near five-year lows and business sentiment has tanked, while airlines have pulled their 2025 financial forecasts, citing uncertainty over spending on nonessential travel because of tariffs, which economists have warned will raise costs for companies and households. "The trade shock now looms large, overshadowing everything else that the White House has attempted to accomplish," said Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM US. "The fact that we’ve gone from trade shock to financial shock to a possible recession in less than 100 days ought to give pause to those who want to continue down this road of tariffs." A Reuters survey of economists forecast GDP likely increased at a 0.3% annualized rate last quarter, which would be the slowest pace since the second quarter of 2022. But the survey was concluded before data on Tuesday showed the goods trade deficit surged to an all-time high in March amid record imports, which prompted economists to sharply downgrade their GDP estimates. Economists estimated the trade deficit subtracted as much as 1.9 percentage points from GDP last quarter. Goldman Sachs forecast GDP contracted at a 0.8% rate. The economy grew at a 2.4% rate in the fourth quarter. Some economists warned against placing too much weight on the GDP number, arguing that an unusually large amount of non-monetary gold had accounted for some of the jump in imports. Adding to uncertainty over the forecast, the Atlanta Federal Reserve’s model forecast GDP plunging at a 1.5% pace after accounting for imports and exports of gold. But the New York Fed’s staff projected GDP increasing at a 2.6% rate. Others argued that the data did not change the narrative of a struggling economy because of uncertainty due to tariffs. "There isn’t any real positives to take from the report we expect," said Matt Colyar, an economist at Moody’s Analytics. "The kind of capricious way that these policies have been announced, it reaches everybody, everybody knows about it right off the bat, and they’re rightly calculating that the stuff that they buy is going to go up more." HIGHER INFLATION Prices are forecast to have increased last quarter and continue to do so through the year. The Personal Consumption Expenditures price index excluding the volatile food and energy components is estimated to have increased at a 3.3% rate, which would be an acceleration from the October-December’s 2.6% pace. Economists expect the Federal Reserve to resume cutting interest rates at some point this year. Trump on Tuesday softened the blow of his auto tariffs through an executive order mixing credits with relief from other levies on parts and materials. A 145% tariff on Chinese goods, which unleashed a trade war between Washington and Beijing, remains in place, as do an array of other import duties. Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the economy, is expected to have slowed down significantly. Most households pulled forward spending to avoid higher prices. With the labor market also cooling, consumers are mostly saving. Despite the surge in imports, inventory accumulation has remained moderate, which buttressed economists’ argument that the GDP number should be taken with a grain of salt as the wider trade deficit was driven by gold imports. Some encouraged investors to focus on final sales to private domestic purchasers, which exclude trade, inventories and government spending, to get a better pulse of the economy. "However, consumption spending was clearly inflated due to tariff-frontrunning, so the growth in spending is likely to overstate the growth in domestic output," said Lou Crandall, chief economist at Wrightson ICAP (LON:NXGN). "The potential measurement slippages in the inventory and net export numbers will make it hard to say exactly how large that overstatement might be."

Industrial production rose 0.8% in March after a 0.7% jump in Feb—far above the typical 0.2–0.4%. Trump may call it strength, but firms could just be stockpiling ahead of tariffs. This isn’t booming demand—it’s preemptive defense.

Some US consumers stockpile goods ahead of Trump's new tariffs COST -0.91% ULVR +1.25% WMT +0.77% PG -2.15% FUJHY +3.85% SECAUCUS, New Jersey (Reuters) - Pushing a shopping cart down the aisle of a Walmart (NYSE:WMT) Supercenter, Thomas Jennings, 53, loaded up on juices, condiments and whatever he could think of. "I'm buying double of whatever - beans, canned goods, flour, you name it," he said. His strategy is to stock up as much as possible before the Trump administration's latest round of import tariffs takes effect on Wednesday. Earlier at Costco (NASDAQ:COST) , Jennings bought flour, sugar and water in bulk. "There's a recession coming and I am preparing for the worst," he said. Like a growing number of U.S. shoppers, Jennings believes retail prices will soon rise because of Trump's tariffs. The Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan, nonprofit research group, said the new levies will cost Americans $3.1 trillion over the next 10 years, amounting to a roughly $2,100 tax increase per household in 2025 alone. Even as many shoppers take a wait-and-see approach, some fear that any panic would trigger a stockpiling frenzy that intensifies on expectations of even worse inflation, they told Reuters. Manish Kapoor, founder of GCG, a supply chain management firm outside Los Angeles, said the tariffs are reawakening fears of empty store shelves encountered during the pandemic, when supply chain disruptions led to product shortages and inflation. "We saw this during COVID as well, where everybody frantically went and grabbed everything on store shelves, whether they needed it or not," Kapoor said. "It's not to that level, but people are worried that the cost (of goods) is going to go up and, you know, let's stock up." Walmart and Costco did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Angelo Barrio, 55, a retired garment industry professional, said Trump's tactics of "muddying the water and causing chaos" have worried him and his friends about the economy's direction. Barrio began buying goods with long shelf lives in November as he feared retailers would pass on tariff costs to their customers. At Costco this week, he stocked up on Crest toothpaste, soap, water and rice to fill six canisters already stuffed with canned goods in his temperature-controlled basement. At Walmart, he grabbed two more bottles of olive oil, bringing his total stockpile to 20 bottles. "You can never be sure how much you'll need," he said. CHINA TARIFFS Barrio is sympathetic towards China, which Trump threatened on Monday with an additional 50% tariff if Beijing does not withdraw its retaliatory tariffs on the United States. "They are simply getting penalized for no fault of their own," he said. "I have always been happy that they are able to provide us things at such low prices." Maggie Collins, who is in her mid-60s, said she is "shaking in my boots" as she worries about Trump's tariffs and their impact on senior citizens. At a Walmart in North Bergen, New Jersey, Collins filled her cart with items like shower gels and sanitary pads, favoring Walmart brands that are cheaper than those from Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) and Unilever (LON:ULVR). "I look at all the prices closely because I live on a fixed income," said Collins, a health aide at a senior living facility. "Paying a higher price somewhere means making adjustments to some other budget." On a recent visit to Shoprite, where Collins bought chopped meat to cook for her grandchildren, her typical 3 lb (1.36 kg) meat purchase cost $16, forcing her to take the $8 version instead. How would the younger generation cope, she wondered. "They are just getting out into this world where it has become so tough to survive." At Valley Subaru (OTC:FUJHY) in Longmont, Colorado, business has spiked in recent weeks. General Sales Manager Nic Chuenchit said he was unsure how much of that was due to consumers' concerns about the 25% tariffs, which took effect on fully imported cars on April 3. "Customers are talking about the tariffs, customers are asking us questions about them," Chuenchit said. "I do think some of our customers who were planning to buy a car have done it sooner rather than later because of the talk about tariffs." Chuenchit was optimistic as he recalled selling cars after the 2008 recession and during the pandemic. "This business is resilient. Car sales have always been there," he said. "People will still buy cars, even if there are tariffs. It's just going to cost consumers more."
