Trump’s new 10% tariff on Chinese imports could raise prices for electronics, clothing, cars, and home appliances in the US.

In Short

President Trump has imposed a 10% tariff on imports from China, potentially increasing costs for US consumers on electronics, clothing, cars, and appliances. The National Retail Federation urges negotiations to mitigate price hikes while analysts predict significant increases in product prices.

President Donald Trump has implemented an additional 10% tariff on imports from China, which could potentially rise further.

This move is likely to result in higher prices for various goods in the US, particularly consumer electronics, clothing and textiles, cars, and home appliances.

In 2023, the US imported $427 billion worth of goods from China. Notably, consumer electronics sales included substantial imports of cellphones and laptops. The Consumer Technology Association estimates that tariffs could raise laptop prices by up to 68%, video game consoles by 58%, and smartphones by 37%.

In clothing and textiles, imports amounted to $19.6 billion in 2023. Retailers may increase prices of apparel and accessories due to these tariffs.

Cars are affected as well, with US imports of car parts valued at $14.6 billion. Analysts suggest that domestic automakers sourcing parts from China may be compelled to raise prices.

Home appliances also face price increases. The National Retail Federation projected that the average price of a basic fridge could rise from $650 to $776.

The NRF has urged all parties to negotiate solutions to strengthen trade relations and avoid passing costs on to American consumers.

Major stock indices rise slightly; 10-year Treasury yield hits 4.23% amid Fed Chair speculation, affecting small and mega-cap stocks.


All major stock indices are starting the week slightly higher, giving investors cautious optimism. Analysts are keeping an eye on movements in small caps and mega-cap tech stocks amid these early gains.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has climbed to 4.23%, the highest since last September. This follows Kevin Warsh emerging as the frontrunner for the next Federal Reserve Chair, sparking speculation on future monetary policy.

Rising yields could trigger a pullback in small-cap stocks, while investors may pivot toward mega-cap tech, expected to deliver strong earnings growth. Overall, the market is likely to see a neutral to slightly bearish trend next week due to overbought conditions.
