Many perhaps thought they\u2019d be implemented with a clearer strategic purpose. I had hoped we\u2019d use them to open up foreign markets such as the EU, reducing our trade deficit by exporting more not by importing less. And most voters probably weren\u2019t voting for a recession, odds on which Goldman Sachs revised up to 35% for next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the improbable targets of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports are screws, along with bolts, nuts, coach screws, screw hooks, rivets, cotters, cotter-pins, washers (including spring washers) and similar articles, of iron or steel.

Last year we\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trademap.org\/Product_SelCountry_TS.aspx?nvpm=1%7c842%7c%7c%7c%7c7318%7c%7c%7c4%7c1%7c1%7c1%7c2%7c1%7c1%7c1%7c1%7c1\">imported<\/a>\u00a0$7.05BN of HTS code 7318 products and exported $5.63BN, for a trade deficit of $1.43BN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no particular trend in the series. The net balance in HTS 7318 was worse in 2022 than last year. Exports have been growing at 12% annually, faster than imports at 9%. We bought almost two thirds of our HTS 7318 imports from just three countries: Taiwan, China and Japan. The two biggest buyers of our exports were Canada and Mexico under the USMCA and no doubt including the auto sector\u2019s integrated cross-border assembly processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China\u2019s the world\u2019s biggest&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/oec.world\/en\/profile\/hs\/iron-fasteners\">exporter<\/a>&nbsp;in this category and the US is the biggest importer. But that\u2019s true for many traded items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trade deficit in 7318 doesn\u2019t seem especially problematic. Manufacturing screws isn\u2019t obviously in the national interest. If other countries can make them better and cheaper, go for it. The net deficit in 7318 is only 25% of our exports. There\u2019s a lot of two-way flow in the category, as what economists call comparative advantage drives production to where it\u2019s done relatively better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Somebody is getting screwed with 7318 tariffs, and the market fears it might be the American worker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Blog-Image-Blog-April-2-2025-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"US manufactiring employment began revival with fracking\" class=\"wp-image-221653 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Image Blog April 2 2025 2\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Blog-Image-Blog-April-2-2025-2-1.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Blog-Image-Blog-April-2-2025-2-1-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Blog-Image-Blog-April-2-2025-2-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Blog-Image-Blog-April-2-2025-2-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; aspect-ratio: 1030\/579;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/03\/Blog-Image-Blog-April-2-2025-2-1030x579.jpg.webp\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding manufacturing jobs is always good, but US manufacturing employment is in fine shape. A decades-long decline ended when the shale revolution began to lower domestic gas prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During tariff turmoil, midstream energy has been showing its value as defensive sector, beating the S&amp;P500 by 17% since the election. A Fox News poll found that 69% of Americans believe tariffs will lead to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/shannon-bream-confronts-peter-navarro-polling-voters-tariffs-2052779\">higher prices<\/a>. White House trade counselor Peter Navarro claimed they\u2019d act as a tax cut, a fringe view that\u2019s simply wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not only that US energy has limited exposure to tariffs. Many pipelines are regulated by FERC which links price increases to PPI. The FOMC\u2019s most recent&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreserve.gov\/monetarypolicy\/files\/fomcprojtabl20250319.pdf\">Summary of Economic Projections<\/a>&nbsp;showed policymakers had shifted their growth expectation down and inflation up, hence the stagflation headlines that accompanied its release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Blog-Image-Blog-April-2-2025-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"midstream energy outperforming since election\" class=\"wp-image-221655 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Image Blog April 2 2025 3\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Blog-Image-Blog-April-2-2025-3-1.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Blog-Image-Blog-April-2-2025-3-1-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Blog-Image-Blog-April-2-2025-3-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Blog-Image-Blog-April-2-2025-3-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; aspect-ratio: 1030\/579;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2025\/03\/Blog-Image-Blog-April-2-2025-3-1030x579.jpg.webp\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pipeline investors have little to fear from inflation given that around half the industry\u2019s EBITDA is linked to PPI. In 2022 when inflation reached 9%, midstream returned +21% while the S&amp;P500 was down 18%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The market is pricing in at least two rate cuts by the end of the year, suggesting investors expect the Fed to regard tariff-linked inflation as temporary. In this scenario, midstream earnings will get a boost from the PPI linkage while maintaining relatively attractive yields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Energy consumption is very stable (see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/midstream-is-about-volumes\">Midstream Is About Volumes)<\/a>. Power generation is rising because of AI demand after two decades of being flat. Liquids (about half of which is gasoline) have been between 20 and 21 Million Barrels per Day for many years. Natural gas consumption continues to grow strongly. For fifteen years this was driven by the coal to gas switch in US power generation. Now increasing LNG exports and the growth in data centers are the drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s little reason to expect any of these trends to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morgan Stanley noted that Oklahoma\u2019s natural gas rig count has risen from 44 to 54 this year in response to higher prices. They expect the beneficiaries to include Energy Transfer, Oneok and Targa Resources as E&amp;P firm Anadarko pushes increased volumes through their infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shipping giant AP M\u00f8ller-Maersk expects the EU\u2019s proposed maritime emissions trading scheme to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/4c9a39c0-c01e-478c-b208-5277960f0768\">encourage<\/a>&nbsp;the use of gas-powered engines, saying it was, \u201chighly likely that fossil LNG remains the cheapest option.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LNG stocks have sagged recently on fears that a cease-fire in Ukraine could see increased Russian gas exports to the EU. A senior coalition member in Germany\u2019s new government recently&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/4f72c44e-86d9-44e2-bb32-6d000287fba3\">said<\/a>&nbsp;the sanctions regime was hurting the EU more than Russia. We continue to think the White House would not look kindly on a resumption of gas shipments through Nordstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally Posted April 2, 2025 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/screwed-by-tariffs\">Screwed By Tariffs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important Disclosures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The information provided is for informational purposes only and investors should determine for themselves whether a particular service, security or product is suitable for their investment needs.
