Tariffs are usually applied to imported goods—but in an interconnected economy, their effects can be felt in the prices of other goods and services.

This initial decline reflects decreased demand, visible in declining prices for energy such as oil, a primary commodity typically exempt from tariffs. After the initial tariff shock, inflation gradually picks up, driven first by goods and later by services, one of the more persistent categories of inflation.
