Why these companies are lowering prices despite rising inflation and looming tariffs

Mar. 03, 2025

Inflation is heating up, a trade war is brewing and American consumers aren’t feeling great about the economy. That’s a toxic mix for businesses. Inflation rose last month to its highest level since June, topping 3%. Prices at the grocery store remain elevated, with eggs rising 15.2% in a single month, according to January’s Consumer Price Index. Earlier this month, Walmart — widely considered to be a bellwether for the US economy — forecasted slower sales growth for this year. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s trade war with China, Canada and Mexico could cost American families $1,200 more per year, according to the Peterson Institute.
