Where tariffs are starting to impact prices for you at WM

Pretty simple stuff. We haven't been seeing higher prices from the tariffs yet, because TACO.

Now, that some of the tariffs are actually being implemented, we're seeing some higher prices. Not sure why all the questions about this very simple concept needed to be asked in here.

What a lack of understanding, parroting the cult of Dems and low IQs.

We’re seeing monthly record tariff revenue as a result of newly implemented tariffs. You can’t get one without the other. The tariffs have not made their way to inflation numbers and it’s not even debatable.

Also what I said weeks ago , new future tariffs may cause a 1-time spike in inflation but not a continued monthly increase. If you don’t understand this you have no business posting in this thread.

“Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller recently commented on tariffs, expressing that their impact on inflation is likely to be temporary. In a speech on July 17, 2025, at the Money Marketeers of New York University, he stated that tariffs cause a one-time price level increase, not persistent inflation”

C’Mon you gotta do better than that.

Where are the markets vs their all time highs?

What you guys are hoping for and what is actually happening are currently 2 different things.

Can't even be bothered to do separate letters anymore?

What happened to all the deals?

Isn’t that what the democrats said about inflation after covid. Don’t trust anyone that says that they “know” that inflation is temporary.

If inflation occurs the fed will want to raise interest rates and they are already too high already.

Oof.

Related to a Walmart analysis here is direct quote from one of their EVPs regarding tariffs and price changes.

“This is designed to purposefully mislead. They are cherry picking the data that showed most prices stayed the same and ignoring the more than 6,500 rollbacks on a wide range of items. We are providing the most competitive prices around the country.”

Persistent, month over month inflation is caused when price equilibrium is off via an increase in demand, increase in input costs, and/or monetary policy (printing money).

Biden quite literally increased demand with 15 million or so illegals and printing money. Thats why you saw a multiple month trend and inflation like we haven’t seen in a long time.

A tariff has the potential to be a one-time hit based on what part of the supply chain absorbs the cost. For example - I read a recent snippet how Japanese autos have not gotten more expensive for US consumers as the manufacturer has absorbed the tariff. Not suggesting each situation will be like this, but it’s not zero either.

My question for you is if tariffs are so bad, why do other countries tariff US goods and have done so for decades? Are how do these tariffs impact their inflation?

I’ll ask my questions to the crowd.

1. if tariffs are so bad, why do other countries tariff US goods and have done so for decades?
2. How do these tariffs impact their inflation?

I second this question. Should be an interesting response.
