Guess which prices jumped fastest after the 2025 tariffs?
Metals and leather goods saw some of the steepest increases.1
In fact, short-term price spikes for these items brought costs up more than 30%.1
Now, guess which prices stayed pretty much the same after these tariffs?
Education, insurance, water, and air travel costs didn't budge. Neither did the cost of financial services.1
So, what does it all mean for your bottom line?
Tariffs can impact all of us. Sometimes, that happens directly; other times, it's in more subtle ways. They can influence how we spend, where we invest, and how secure we feel about the road ahead.
That's why it's worth taking a closer look at where these effects might show up in your financial picture.
The better you understand what's moving in the background, the better you can plan for what could be ahead.
