Barclays: US Tariff Rollback Has Minimal Inflation Impact

    According to Bloomberg News, Barclays Plc stated that if Chinese goods attract any rollback of the US tariffs, it will have a modest impact on the Yuan and inflation in the United States.




    What’s More?

    If there is an absolute tariffs rollback, the direct effect on inflation in the US that can go to the maximum is a reduction of 0.3% point, which will be a one-time drop. This was stated by the analysts at Barclays’ Jayati Bharadwaj as written in a note.

    The main reason they cited the marginal impact is that the share of Chinese imports in the United States is comparatively less.

    The impact on inflation in the United States is just a small drop in the ocean, as stated by the analyst. Perhaps it would just be pointless in monetary policy deliberations. If tariffs are removed partially, it may lead to an insignificant drag on inflation, which is much closer to a few-tenths revealed by analysts.

    As far as the Chinese currency is concerned, Barclays’ reveals that the improvement in trade relations between the United States and China is not a supercharger for the Yuan. If the tariffs are lifted on both sides, the current account surplus of China will gain by approximately $90 billion, as per analyst estimates.

    This would indicate a 1.8% appreciation in Yuan, though the exact impact might be smaller because the removal of any tariff would take place in a staggered manner. It is also likely that it could also be a Chinese product subset.

    Bloomberg News reports that a steep appreciation in Yuan would most likely face resistance from the central bank in China, which in turn is seeking stability related to the exchange rate, as argued them.

    US President Joe Biden will likely announce his decision to roll back tariffs on Chinese imports as early as this week. Simultaneously, it is also expected that a probe will begin for the industrial subsidies.

    On Tuesday, a discussion between Janet Yellen, the Treasury Secretary, and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He took place about tariffs and economic sanctions.
