Tariffs are now hitting margins as consumers reject higher prices
U.S. executives spent much of last year telling investors that tariffs were a nuisance, not a thesis-breaker. Early earnings-season language is now shifting in a more uncomfortable direction: tariffs are showing up in the two places markets care about most, prices and margins, and the consumer is increasingly resistant to paying more.
The dynamic is straightforward. Many retailers and manufacturers buffered the first wave of tariff pressure by front-loading imports, running down inventories purchased under earlier terms, and leaning on suppliers or internal efficiencies to avoid sticker shock.

Europe’s carmakers get India opening, but mass market stays tough
Europe’s car industry has been hunting for breathing room: U.S. tariffs are squeezing margins on one flank, while China’s brutal price competition is eroding profits on the other. That’s why the EU-India trade deal matters so much politically and commercially.
In headline terms, it promises a steep reduction in India’s import barriers on EU-built vehicles, down toward 10% over time from tariffs that have sat as high as 110%, and that is as close as New Delhi has come in decades to signaling that the world’s third-largest car market is no longer a fortress.

Brussels and Delhi clinch mega deal, ringfence farms, open autos
India and the European Union have agreed, in political terms, to end one of the world’s longest-running trade negotiations, and to do so explicitly as a hedge against a harsher, more weaponized global trading environment dominated by U.S. tariff shocks.
The agreement announced Tuesday sets out a sweeping tariff liberalization schedule on both sides, keeps the most combustible farm and dairy lines out of scope, and pairs market access with a climate-finance sweetener that underscores how central decarbonization disputes have become to modern trade diplomacy.
