If US businesses "eat" the tariffs, what does that mean for their margins? Do you think shareholders will just blithely sit by and watch business profits decrease by 10, 20, 25%? Are you seriously thinking that US businesses can survive without international trade? Over 40 million US jobs are reliant on international trade. What will be happening to those jobs if US international trade is reduced? I can throw a rock from where I'm sitting and hit dozens of businesses that will go under if they have to sacrifice 20% of their profits to eat tariffs. I know dozens of US farmers whose business rely on selling to SEA. There is not enough native consumption to take up that slack.

The full effect of Trump's spastic trade policies has not materialized yet in the real economy. Just wait.

On a more somber note .

I’m so sad at the deaths of those poor children in Texas - Camp Mystic , my heart aches for the parents of these children .

Let’s also hope for a lasting ceasefire in Gaza . It really shouldn’t be so difficult to cohabit this world , alas the political system doesn’t want to conform to this ethos .

I will respectfully disagree. India doesn’t care what China does, and vise versa, they are all out to protect themselves. When push comes to shove, humans and countries protect themselves. Russia isn’t even a trading partner at this point. I see them as independent countries, way too different to negotiate tariffs unilaterally. As for small countries, no offense to them, but they aren’t terribly relevant.

this guy clearly has no plan. As the weeks go by the playbook changes on an adhoc basis. On one hand, it's "keep using the dollar. Please, don't stop using the dollar". On the other hand, we're going to erode trust by implementing ever changing policies and trying to force countries into doing what we want. Thereby forcing countries to consider alternative reserve currencies.

First, people complain about how unfair something is. Second, after a while they accept it as normal. Next up, someone attempts to fix the initial wrong but because it has been going on for so long and seen as fair, the masses complain.

But at this point I do believe when all the dust settles, tariffs will get set at reasonable levels and everyone will move on to something else to talk about. The market thinks that too, otherwise we wouldn’t be an inch from all time highs.

You're right, we don't know. But prolonged "not knowing" is bad for business. Tough to push down the bull market, for sure. Any 1% dip has tobe a btfd moment. But as I said, nothing is settled yet, for good or ill. And trade with Myanmar, per se, is not important. What is significant is Trump is losing the trade war with China by pushing SEA countries away. Still no official word from Vietnam, btw. The big, unsettled issues are China and the EU. Nobody is coming to save Trump if this whole game goes sideways.

Who pays the tariffs?

Ignored

In the truest sense, the importers. So, if the importers can't pass on the cost, they don't import.

The macro effect; these liberal globalists with worthless liberal arts degrees and/or none at all ('just traders-so I know all about global macro economics") don't understand or won't talk about is that if importers don't purchase, exporters don't sell. Therefore, in the purest form of capitalism, the exporter pays the tariff either by reducing their price to the point of covering the tariff or lose the sale and a different lower cost producer will pick up the slack.

In reality, exporting companies pay the tariff unless they are dealing in non-homogenous, non-elastic, irreplicable goods.

Well, we don’t know where the tariffs will end up after all the negotiations. What will be exempted, what tricks will businesses play to get around them etc. Honestly I don’t think anyone will be able to answer that for awhile.

I pay pretty close attention to prices, and I’ve seen nothing yet, but it’s too soon to know who will pass it on. If US inflation spikes measurably then people will blame tariffs, but that’s not going happen while negotiations are underway.

So you know for a fact what exactly the tariffs will be for every country in the end? You know what will be exempted? You know what tricks will or won’t work to avoid them?

We don’t know any of these things yet. If my arm catches on fire i will be in trouble, that’s true. But you don’t know if my arm will catch fire or not. We have to wait and see how this plays out. Everything is still be negotiated and it will not be easy or quick. As you said, watch price action. What are stocks doing right this minute? Basically unchanged from Friday close. Yawn.

Jul 7, 2025 2:07pm

Isn't it true that when there is a shipment of goods entering a country, it is because there is demand from that country?
okay this might be to raise domestic products, but if this is about big companies they definitely need from other countries and that is the use of a currency with a large value and yeah hahahaha damn. and will big companies go bankrupt because of course imports are their demand and unemployment damn if the dollar falls this is very detrimental even for Indonesians like me hahaha
