TD COWEN: PRICE HIKES FROM TARIFFS EXPECTED TO APPEAR IN MAY INFLATION REPORT

The first signs of tariff-related cost pass-throughs to consumers are expected to appear in the May inflation report. The most significant impact will likely emerge over the summer as businesses and retailers deplete lower-cost inventories. For April, core inflation is expected to remain subdued, driven by softening travel and hotel rates and persistently high retail inventories. However, already-strained consumers are in a challenging position—facing a choice between absorbing higher prices from tariffs or increased costs stemming from shipping surcharges.
