Episode notes
Temporary US-China Tariff Drop
- The US and China agreed to drop tariffs by 15% each for 90 days to reset tariffs near April levels.
- This will likely ease supply chain issues and keep prices stable for tech consumers temporarily.
E-Commerce Sites Adapt to Tariffs
- Sites like Shein and Tmue have adapted by sourcing products outside China to avoid tariffs.
- Physical stores will have better availability and roughly original pricing on goods due to tariff reductions.
Prepare for Post-Pause Tariff Uncertainty
- Consumers should manage expectations as the 90-day tariff reduction is a pause, not a long-term solution.
- Watch for trade deal progress or extensions since shipping times approach the pause duration.
