Why tariffs are just 'another cost' to the consumer

President Donald Trump's proposed tariff strategy is expected to have an inflationary impact on the US economy. BMO Capital Markets managing director Simeon Siegel joins Catalysts to analyze the potential effects on the retail sector. "Tariff to the consumer is just another cost that goes into the equation," he tells Yahoo Finance, noting that "at the end of the day, the consumer's either going to pay more, or they're not." Siegel emphasizes that the focus should shift from which country is receiving specific tariffs to understanding which products will be affected, as this will ultimately determine the future trajectory of consumer prices. He further notes that consumers won't accept all price increases, drawing a distinction between consumer wants and needs. "Right now, if you had trouble selling your jeans at full price last week, I don't think all of a sudden tariffs are going to give you a lot of permission to go back to that consumer and say 'no no no, we're going to add a charge.' I think the consumer's going to say good luck, you can try," he tells Yahoo Finance. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Catalysts here.

Why this financial advisor expects market uncertainty to fade

Stocks (^GSPC, ^IXIC, ^DJI) are rising thanks to strong earnings and tech optimism. Liz Miller, founder of Summit Place Financial Advisors, joins Wealth to explain why investors can feel confident entering the market now, as uncertainty starts to ease and positive economic trends emerge. "We know there was a lot of cash on the sidelines all throughout last year from investors who sort of felt like they missed it [market gains] and kept saying ‘is now too late?’" Miller says. “But, you know, one of the big things we're seeing today and really over the last day or two is that the market was a little bit sideways the beginning of this year with uncertainty is now breaking out," adding that the uncertainty will start to fade over time.  Watch the video above, to hear Miller also speak on the importance of balancing Federal Reserve policy with fiscal policy, especially concerning tariffs.
