Egg prices had their biggest drop since 1984 last month.
So the consumer hasn’t seen any inflation is that what you are saying? But I thought Tariffs meant higher prices?
You know what went up, Tariff revenue, it doubled last month year over year, the US brought in $16.3 billion an Increase of $9 billion, yet no inflation.
Floundering!Make your mind up - it's either too early to tell or it isn't.
You know what went up? energy prices - so tell me how that works with manufacturing inputs?
Trump needs interest rates to come down, and already the market has moved away from June cuts to September, and they've moved away from 3 cuts and priced in 2 cuts. What's the interest on US debt? $1.2trn so about £100bn per month.No you make your mind up, lol.
Says the clown who wants to know where the manufacturing jobs are in the first 29 days, what a cսnt!
Here’s another lesson for you, an increase in wholesale prices doesn’t always translate to on increase in prices to the consumer, sometimes manufacturers eat the increase to remain competitive and operate under smaller margins.
Energy prices always fluctuate, wanna k ow what pushes prices up? More demand. Perhaps we about gonna see a recession after all let alone a depression like you’ve been spouting.
As for the Fed, they are not always right and as Trump said are often late on interest rate cuts. I remember Janet Yellen telling us all that Biden’s inflation was transitory ffs. How fucking wrong was she.
Floundering!

Inflation numbers came in low again today, lowest since Feb 2021, 2.3 %, getting close to the feds 2% target rate. Something Biden could do nothing about. What happened to all this inflation you’ve been banging on about ?
Now don’t use the old It’s too early to see inflation on Tariffs after talking bollox about the jobs numbers.
As for China opening up its markets, we will see what happens. Trump has all the cards, As I said, China either gives concessions or tariffs shoot back up again which will basically cut them off from the US consumer, something they simply can’t afford, even if they have to pay 10% Tariffs.

Remind me of the size of the US manufacturing workforce. What's 1,000 as a percentage? What was the figure for the previous month. I think you mean statistically speaking flat. That's a fact.
Meanwhile non-farm payrolls rose 177,000.The number is factual. I tell you something else it isn’t - it isn’t growth which is what Nutsin claimed was happening.“It isn’t growth.” What a doughnut!

"The decline is expected to be particularly steep in North America," the WTO said, forecasting trade to drop by more than a tenth in that region.”The Chinese have morphed into a neo mercantile economy, that’s about to change. Those days are over.
Otherwise they’ll be priced out of the US market by hefty Tariffs. Something they can’t afford. Meanwhile the US will continue to move their imports from other countries.
Will be bumpy if China chooses to destroy its own economy but we will fair much better.
And as for the prediction of even more bad news, you might find that companies front load their goods and services these next 3 months to stack their supplies boosting economic growth for this quarter.
Again nothing is written in stone as far as all of your negative projections. They have all been wrong so far, no matter who the source is. About time you caught a clue isn’t it? Or are you content being stuck on Stupid?

The markets were stronger before Trump and his tariffs.
There are no tariffs on U.K. goods imported into China you div.
simple question for your simple brain:
Which scenario is better for opening up the Chinese market to US companies?
a) zero tariffs
b) 10%+
i will get you a calculator and some crayons.Who mentioned UK Tariffs fuckwit, I was talking about China opening up its market.
As for Tariffs I think China understands what will happen in 90 days if they don’t give concessions and it’s called Tariffs, big ones at that.
You really are an imbecile!
Poor Goose just doesn’t understand.
Funny how China stopped reporting it’s economic activity all of a sudden.You cannot be this simple minded.
YOU mentioned the U.K.:
“Perhaps the UK and others can benefit from all this too with their trade agreements with China”
The U.K. has zero tariffs into China, I’d love to know how it will benefit from the US who have a worse deal.
I see you avoided the simple question I posed you, because we both know the (blindingly obvious) answer.
