The Biden administration has enacted a new set of tariffs against China that will hit up to $18 billion in imported goods, including quadrupling the duties imposed on electric vehicles (EVs) and doubling tariffs on solar panels and semiconductors to 50% each.

With growing trade tensions between China and the United States, this move raises questions about its potential impact on the upcoming election. According to Yahoo Finance’s Senior Columnist Rick Newman, the tariffs “do fit with what Biden has been doing his whole term, which is incentivizing the development of certain industries within the United States.” He explains that the tariffs are intended to make those goods originating from China more expensive, thereby promoting domestic manufacturing of these products.

Inflation history: How past price increases and monetary policy impacted the consumer

Inflation is not a new phenomenon for the U.S. economy. Although the Federal Reserve has sustained a higher-for-longer inflation environment, historical outcomes provide valuable insights. Brookings Institution Director of Economic Studies Ben Harris joins Wealth! to talk economic history. Harris draws parallels to the 1970s and early 1980s, when “inflation lasted for roughly a decade.” During that time, inflation reached a staggering 14%, he says, whereas inflation peaked at 9% most recently. While Harris acknowledges that though the current experience “wasn’t as severe, some of the lessons were the same.” Harris emphasizes that monetary policy is the primary tool for combating inflation, stating that the Fed will “keep interest rates […]
