President Donald Trump is making his mark on the U.S. economy. The Trump administration's tariff policies (including a trade war with Canada) and the war with Iran have driven up energy prices and contributed to accelerating inflation. This "Trumpflation" is driving up costs across the economy.
Research from the non-profit ****** ytics group Tax Foundation indicates that Trump-backed tariffs increased costs by about $1,000 per U.S. household in 2025 and $840 per household so far in 2026. Tariffs are import taxes levied on goods imported from other countries. Those costs are ultimately borne by U.S. businesses or are often passed on to American consumers.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Trump's war with Iran has caused major disruptions to global shipments of oil and natural gas from the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. That has caused energy prices to go up in 2026. U.S. gasoline prices are back on the rise (but remain down somewhat from their March 2026 high), and diesel prices reached an all-time high national average of $5.897 per gallon as of Sept. 6, according to AAA research. Higher diesel costs are likely to lead to higher inflation for groceries and many consumer products on store shelves that rely on diesel-fueled trucks for distribution to retailers.
Trump seems unlikely to give up on his tariff policies anytime soon, and the Iran conflict might not truly "end" in 2026 or 2027. With an uncertain future of possibly higher inflation and higher energy prices, how should you invest?
