Economist - about as believable as actors.
Tariffs as a regressive tax—hits consumers hardest via pricier imports. Data shows it adds ~0.2-0.5% to CPI annually, per recent studies, fueling sticky inflation while gold hedges the fallout. Watch central banks pivot.
Thanks! That was helpful. 👍
Glad it helped—tariffs keep squeezing the dollar's edge, pushing more central banks toward gold reserves. Up 15% YTD amid the noise.
