#TrumpsTariffs still hitting certain sectors∶

Prices on toys were up 4.2% in Sept. But other categories heavily exposed to #tariffs showed fairly minimal effects. Apparel was up 0.3% last month, & prices on household furnishings fell 0.2%. Spending on the #AI buildout helped to push up #prices for #computers & related equipment by 9.7% over the past year. Software prices have risen 28.4% over that time period.

Average hourly #earnings are now back to almost exactly where they were when #Trump was sworn into office for the second time, meaning that, on average, Americans have experienced zero #wage growth, in real terms, since he returned to the White House.

Ahh the golden age.

Zero #wage growth∶

The combination of higher #inflation & weaker wage growth means that Americans are #earning less for every hour of #work. Average hourly #earnings, adjusted for inflation, fell 0.5% in August, & were down 0.7% from a year earlier. It was the sixth straight month of year-over-year declines in real earnings.

That’s ominous. That was 2007, shortly before “The Great Recession”. It started in December of that year.

#Canada struck back at #Trump Tuesday with #tariffs on about $20 billion worth of #US goods, in response to the latest round of #TrumpTariffs on Canada.

The outcome could resonate far beyond Canada, showing other governments whether a smaller US ally can withstand Trump’s economic pressure [ #MafiaState ].

The July #Jobs report from the #UnitedStates Bureau of Labor Statistics just dropped, and apparently so did the number of jobs in the country. It was expected to go up, but it continued going down, like Trump’s approval rating. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/economy/2026/08/07/us-jobs-report-release-july-2026/91194187007/

As a #trade war between the countries intensifies, #Canada will start collecting #tariffs of 50, 25 & 15% on about 700 products beginning on Sept 8. The most significant measure is a doubling of tariffs on #US steel & aluminum to 50%. But the list of products affected ranges from household rolls of aluminum foil to railway locomotives & steel bridges.

#Canada announced retaliatory #tariffs as high as 50% on hundreds of #US products Tuesday, just days after the collapse of #trade talks triggered punishing tariffs from the #Trump admin.

Canada said the higher levies, on items from aluminum foil to dishwashers to fish, would help protect workers, producers & manufacturers harmed by new Trump tariffs.

#Trump also threatened new 50% #tariffs on #Canada vehicles, auto parts & steel, while Carney said #US #trade demands showed Washington wanted to “destroy our major industries,” including autos, steel & aluminum.

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne & 3 other Cabinet ministers are scheduled to unveil Canada’s response Tuesday morning.

Which will happen first, the start of the inevitable #Trumpcession or the #2026election ? 🤔

#Resist #kakistocracy in #USpol.

Sales have remained sluggish as #mortgage rates have mostly trended higher in the months since the #war between the #US & #Iran started. Expectations of higher #inflation amid surging #oil prices have pushed up the long-term #BondYields that lenders use as a guide to pricing home #loans, causing mortgage rates to climb. Still, mortgage rates remain below where they were a year ago.

#economy #affordability #recession #housing #Trumpcession #TrumpsWar #Trump

Sales rose 2.8% compared with June last year, but the latest sales tally fell short of the roughly 4.21 million pace economists were expecting, acc/to FactSet.

Home sales have been mostly hovering close to a 4-million annual pace going back to 2023, far short of the historic norm that is closer to 5.2-million.

#US #HomePrices hit an all-time high as sales slow & #mortgage rates rise

Sales of previously occupied US homes slowed in June, but a key measure of #home #prices climbed to an all-time high, adding to #affordability challenges for prospective homebuyers.

Existing home sales fell 2.4% last month from May to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.09 million units, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday.

The #Labor Dept said Thurs that the #unemployment rate declined to 4.2% from 4.3% in May, though the decline mostly occurred because many people out of work gave up looking & were no longer counted as unemployed.

The figures suggest companies remain wary of the #economy’s health, with #inflation at a 3-year high & consumer confidence near post-pandemic lows. The #jobs gains initially reported in April & May were also revised lower.
