I\u2019m as much a fan of cute market shorthand and acronyms as anyone, but as much as I enjoy a well-made taco, I was never a fan of the \u201cTACO\u201d acronym.  Short for \u201cTrump Always Chickens Out\u201d, TACO implied that a key reason for the market\u2019s recent strength was a belief that the President would not follow through with his proposed tariffs.  Um\u2026 no.  They\u2019re here now and investors still don\u2019t seem to care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve asserted that one of the key reasons for the market\u2019s negative reaction to the original \u201cLiberation Day\u201d announcement was that tariffs were not on investors\u2019 wish lists.  The post-election rally was predicated upon the return of a market-friendly President who used the stock indices as a gauge of his economic performance in his first term and was expected to focus on deregulation and tax cuts.  Tariffs were simply not on investors\u2019 agenda.  That disappointment was compounded first by the scope of the initial proposal, and then by the relative lack of concern shown for market concerns from the President and some of his cabinet members.  Remember, it was only after a Presidential acknowledgement that markets were \u201cyippy\u201d did we see a reprieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, investors have cheered a budget law that accelerates depreciation, offers tax breaks for research and development, and preserves low rates for high income earners.  Considering who invests in equities and the type of stocks they favor, that can be \u2013 and implicitly was — viewed as a type of fiscal stimulus.  That blunted some of the response to tariffs.  For starters, tariffs revenues are being used to offset some of the increased deficits that are projected to accrue from the new budget.  To some that is a huge benefit; to others it is a necessary evil, a regressive tax, and\/or sand in the gears of the global economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of one\u2019s opinions, the tariffs are here to stay.  The question is the degree to which they will matter for the economy and for markets \u2013 which of course are not the same thing.  The economic impacts are an open question.  Tariffs will raise the cost of imported goods, but we don\u2019t know to what extent they will be passed onto consumers.  Some impact might be absorbed throughout the supply chain, either by the manufacturers and\/or the retailers.  That would blunt the effect to the public but would instead impact margins at the affected companies.  There is also no consensus about whether the inflationary effects of tariffs will be ongoing, relatively temporary, or somewhat minimal.  Remember, inflation is the rate of change in prices, not the price level.  Thus, it is entirely possible that the inflationary impact might be front-loaded, while pushing import prices (and those of competitive US-made goods produced by opportunistic companies) to a higher plateau. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an analysis from The Budget Lab at Yale<\/a>, a group that some will declare as partisan despite their mission as \u201ca non-partisan policy research center dedicated to providing in-depth analysis of federal policy proposals for the American economy.\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2025 tariffs imply an increase in consumer prices of 1.8% in the short-run, assuming no policy reaction from the Federal Reserve and full passthrough of tariffs to consumers. As a result, TBL [The Budget Lab] assumes the real income adjustment comes primarily through prices rather than nominal incomes. If the Federal Reserve reacted, the adjustment could in part come in the form of lower nominal incomes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a visual reminder about the magnitude of the changes that the new tariff rates will bring.  Effective tariff rates will be the highest since the Smoot-Hawley<\/a> Act of 1930<\/a>.  Our economy is far more reliant upon global supply chains these days, hence the concern about their effects upon prices and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter how we slice it, the tariffs will rejigger the economy in many ways \u2013 some expected, some undoubtedly unexpected.  But the idea that the market rally was predicated on the TACO trade is at best outdated, meaning we\u2019ve moved on to other driving factors (including the ever-present MOMO and FOMO<\/a>), or never was the motivator that many had thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
