Current research suggests that tariffs can create upward pressure on U.S. inflation, especially if tariffs are broad, high, and sustained.
Recent Federal Reserve and economic modeling estimate that new rounds of tariffs could add anywhere from XXX to over X percentage points to inflation, depending on their scope, with several scenarios projecting inflation rising well above the Fed’s X% target—potentially approaching or reaching the 3.5–4% range if aggressive tariffs persist.
So, while tariffs don't always immediately spike inflation if companies or consumers can temporarily absorb costs, most expert forecasts and real-time data indicate a strong risk that sustained tariffs will push inflation above X% in the coming quarters—though the exact probability depends on tariff size, duration, and how much of the cost gets passed to consumers.
Key sources for this include analysis from the Federal Reserve, CBS News reporting on tariff effects, Yale Budget Lab modeling, and current economic projections from RBC Economics and the Boston Fed.
