[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Policy changes take awhile to show in economic figures. Today's indicators reflect events from several months ago.

My guess is around October/November we will start seeing changes. What worries most are tariffs on steel imports, especially if they cause domestic suppliers to raise prices because of less imports and more market power as a result

Large companies can blunt the impact by stockpiling. Smaller businesses cannot. So, these tariff policies will put more smaller business out of business.

Dem politicians are trying to exempt small businesses from these tariffs, but I doubt anything will come to pass.
