Boston Fed finds productivity offsets 2025 tariff inflation

A Federal Reserve Bank of Boston study finds that productivity growth in 2025 offset much of the inflationary pressure from President Donald Trump’s tariffs, leaving a net impact of about 0.5 percentage points on core PCE inflation. The research suggests tariffs alone do not explain the 3% inflation level, as stronger productivity and reduced hours helped producers absorb higher costs, though other factors may still be driving inflation higher.
