On April 15th, Federal Reserve Governor Waller indicated that the new tariff policy constitutes one of the most significant impacts on the U.S. economy in decades. If the current 25% average tax rate is maintained for a certain period, inflation is likely to reach a peak close to 5%. Under a scenario where the rate drops to 10%, inflation could peak at 3%. In a large-scale tariff situation, if there is a substantial economic slowdown, individuals are inclined to cut interest rates earlier and to a greater extent than previously envisioned.
