🇺🇸 Trump’s economy faces new pressures

An analysis by The Wall Street Journal points out that several measures by the Donald Trump administration are helping to keep inflation and interest-rate pressures elevated.

📈 Tariffs have increased the cost of some imported products, while immigration restrictions have reduced the supply of workers. At the same time, the conflict with Iran has led to a sharp rise in oil and diesel prices.

🏦 The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond recently reached its highest level since 2007, reflecting investors’ concerns about inflation, fiscal policy, and energy risks.

💼 The labor market, for its part, added 162,000 jobs in August, while the unemployment rate stayed at 4.1%.

The combination of inflation, employment, tariffs, energy, and interest rates has become one of the main economic challenges facing the United States.
